Error in Title- Not by Gavin Menzies
This book is not by Gavin Menzies, but by a Chinese University. This was an error on Amazons part by listing it as such. The book was interesting and has a lot of pictures and information if you are interested in the Gavin Menzies book about the discoveries by the Chinese. Just be aware that it is not written by Gavin Menzies.
