The World of the American Indian is a magnificent "coffee table" book published by National Geographic, with Jules Billard, Editor. The book includes a slip sleeve in the back which holds a map titled, "A Chronicle of the North American Past". The hardcover boards are covered with a heavy course fabric in a gold and black Indian design and the spine cover is black imitation leather. The pages are filled with lovely photos and drawings, giving the reader a visual trip into the past. The many tribes of North America are throughly covered in an interesting read.
Anyone who is interested in the history of this country or in the American Indians that once were many throughout the land should find this book fascinating. The great detail with which the pictures are drawn and photographed is something one will not forget easily.
