🚨 Urgent message from the International Geographical Publishing House

Only 48 hours left until the publication of The World Atlas.

The print run is ready. The cover has been approved. The presentation has been scheduled. However, during the final check, numerous grammatical errors have been found.

The atlas text contains mistakes in the use of articles with geographical names — including the names of continents, countries, regions, rivers, lakes, oceans, mountains, islands, deserts, cities, bridges, etc. Publishing the atlas in this condition will negatively affect the reputation of the publishing house.

Publication has been suspended...
