I haven’t had time to completely go over the book in
detail, but have noticed some glaring errors. The images are from
the Flag Institute Enterprises and image problems are likely to be
from the setup process by the publisher.
Protocol
a minor error on the superior presence of
the UN flag when flown with the flag of
another nation.
Glossary
several minor errors, but it’s
interesting to note that she refers to
FIAV and how anyone interested should
search the Internet for a local flag organization.
image not
stretched to the baseline of the area reserved for an image.
This gives the impression that the California flag is shifted
towards the upper hoist (difficult to describe, except if you
think of the present flag reduced 20% with the same leading
edge along the upper hoist).
Title: The illustrated flag handbook Medium: book Main author(s):Maria Costantino Language:English Edition (publisher: place): Silverdale Books: Leicester (United Kingdom) Edition date:2002 (2nd ed.) Previous edition: [cot01] Further editions: [cot04] Catalogue codes:ISBN 1-856056-69-4 = ISBN 978-1-856056-69-4 (see WorldCat entry) Pages: 256 Format: 210×163 mm
It’s the usual format of brief introduction to flag history
and nomenclature, followed by an alphabetic listing of countries from
Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Each country has a page consisting of a
reasonably good illustration of the flag (but see also below) and a
description and some history of the flag (though often including the
usual dubious reasons for the colours), together with the really
elementary statistics of country name, capital city, currency,
language(s), religion(s). However, there is also flag ratio and flag
adoption date. The illustrations are credited to Flag Institute
Enterprises, which inspires confidence, but there are some
unfortunate errors. The Belgian flag is shown at 1:2 (though the text
says 13:15) and the flag of Guyana is cut off at the bottom. André Coutanche, 28 Apr 2002
Apart from these mistakes several flag image also have a white
edge along their bottom, suggesting they were inaccurately cut from
a white background. Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 01 May 2002
