"Although there have been several accounts of Marco Polo's journey, Rossabi's illustrated edition distinguishes itself with high-quality color pictures that serve to enhance the text, including maps (contemporary and medieval), photographs, and illuminations. Marco Polo's travel accounts, primarily drawn from the Yule-Cordier translation, are accompanied by supplementary texts (with illustrations) on pages that have distinct borders from those that chronicle the travel accounts. The illustrations are so beautiful that they are likely to draw in the reader..." -- Booklist, "Although there have been several accounts of Marco Polo's journey, Rossabi's illustrated edition distinguishes itself with high-quality color pictures that serve to enhance the text, including maps (contemporary and medieval), photographs, and illuminations.

Not intended for scholars but rather for sophisticated lay readers, it will not fail to please its intended audience, so well constructed is it in every detail by editor Rossabi . . . from its well-chosen, lavish, and informative illustrations to its copious footnotes, which alert readers to the modern equivalents of Polo's terms, names, and locations. Forget the historical significance: this is one of the best travel narratives ever, written by an author with an acute eye and a lively imagination. It holds up even today.
