Earth Blue Edition World Atlas
Millennium House has taken a giant leap of faith by creating a new benchmark in publishing and producing a spectacular, limited edition atlas of the world … EARTH Blue Edition.
EARTH Blue Edition takes cartography and publishing to a new stratosphere. More than 100 international cartographers, oceanographers, and geographers have produced an astounding 355 maps covering 194 countries. Adding to this cartographic feat, the massive 580 pages contain extensive country text, covering all the nations of the world. EARTH Blue Edition also presents four stunning gatefolds measuring 1.8 meters across, including one titled “Earth from the Sky at Night”, a stunning image taken by NASA. More than 800 exquisite images were sourced from prestigious picture libraries, including a large number of images taken by National Geographic photographers.
Each copy of EARTH Blue Edition is individually numbered by our calligrapher in Hong Kong and is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity. The leather cover is bound by hand with painstaking detail given to each stage of finishing. Gilded pages and a 15 kg preservation case made of hard wood covered in leather ensure this legacy is protected for generations.
Royal Blue is sold in fine bookstores and galleries in many parts of the world offering 2,000 copies. Only 1 in 3.3 million people in the world can possess this edition, and global demand for these books has been high.
EARTH Blue ContributorsYou can’t create a book like this without enlisting the very best contributors and leaders in their specialized fields. From editors, researchers, cartographers, geographers, and oceanographers, EARTH Blue Edition brings together an international pool of talent and expertise on our world today
EARTH Blue Photography
Thousands of images were examined and shortlisted to end up with the 800
images now presented. These exquisite pictures were sourced from local
and international picture libraries. Some images would have taken months
to capture and many images were discarded in the final selection
process, not because they lacked beauty or significance, but because
they simply could not be enlarged to EARTH Blue Edition dimensions and
maintain their quality. We have received comments from around the world
on the beautiful imagery in EARTH Blue Edition.
