The Caribbean is difficult to map as an entity. It consists of vast amounts of water with dozens of micro-level islands. Last year, ITMB introduced the islands of the Western Caribbean (essentially, Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas). Now we are completing the area with the release of this book atlas, covering the eastern and southern island countries.
Traditionally, these were called the Leeward and Windward Islands, but we feel that the term Eastern Caribbean is more commonly used by cruise ships and we made up the name South to include Trinidad/Tobago and the Dutch colonies of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. The list of islands included in this atlas is lengthy and includes Barbados, Grenada, Guadeloupe/Martinique, St. Kitts/Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and both sets of Virgin Islands, in detail.
Like its counterpart, this atlas would be an excellent travel companion for anyone cruising the Caribbean (on a huge liner or in a yacht). It has 160 pages of maps and includes 18 town plans. This is definitely the most detailed mapping of the world in existence.

Gloss Laminate
Gloss laminate makes colours look more vibrant and stand out more, but is quite shiny (reflective). If you’re planning on using a marker of any sort, this is a better choice because it’s easier to clean. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.
Matte Laminate
Matte laminate has a smooth, non-reflective, very classy looking surface. I wouldn’t say it dulls colours, but it doesn’t make them ‘pop’ (I hate that I just used that word) in the way that gloss does. Matte can be drawn on with pencil (and erased), but is harder to clean if you use markers. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.
Canvas
Everything looks better on canvas! Something about the texture really makes prints look wonderful. It is quite expensive though. We use a very high quality 340gsm artistic matte canvas. Your canvas print will come rolled with a roughly 50mm white border to allow you to have it stretched or mounted however you wish.
