Compiled by a leading authority this book, newly updated for this larger format edition, is a definitive and exhaustive visual reference to international flags, from the largest countries to the smallest states. Split into two sections, the first part of the book presents a fascinating overview of the history of flags, from the 3rd century BC to the 21st century. The second section covers over 600 flags in current use, including a continent- by-continent examination of countries, territories, organizations, individuals and causes. Lavishly illustrated, this book is both a stunning reference book and an invaluable resource. Fascinating and compelling, it offers historical, geographical and political insights into one of our most ancient forms of identification and communication. Review: Learn something new today - Beautiful and informative book. I'd recommend it to anybody who even has a vague interest in flags. My only complaint is that it wasn't packaged in a form-fitted cardboard exterior like other desertcart books I've received (which protects books surprisingly well). It was in a really oversized cardboard box with zero protective packing...no bubble wrap, no plastic sleeve, not even any brown paper void fill. And the result of that lazy packing was 2 of the 4 corners were crushed...and I'm not happy about that. Also, it happened to be raining on delivery day, and the box was soaked through in less than 15 minutes. With the lack of any protective packaging materials, another 5 minutes on my rainy porch would have meant certain destruction of the book. I'm guessing this was a third party seller (honestly, I can't remember), because I've never seen desertcart sell/deliver books in this manner. ? Review: Wonderful Book! - I first found this book at our local library and decided it was a keeper and so I purchased a copy. This is a fantastic book about flags. It has a history of flags, flags from all over the world including state flags and much more. My 10 yr old grandson is fascinated with flags and this is a great book for him. I would highly recommend this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #43,800 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #18 in Genealogy (Books) #33 in Historical Geography #37 in Human Geography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 347 Reviews | ## Images ![The World Encyclopedia of Flags: An Illustrated Guide to International Flags, Banners, Standards and Ensigns - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71S0mNgzucL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learn something new today *by V***T on April 28, 2024* Beautiful and informative book.

This is a fantastic book about flags. It has a history of flags, flags from all over the world including state flags and much more. My 10 yr old grandson is fascinated with flags and this is a great book for him. I would highly recommend this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s great except for the mystery flags in the cover *by B***S on August 14, 2024* This is a publisher with a very twisted agenda. I had a very exciting week because I bought the newest edition of the Encyclopedia of Flags, and there is a flag on the cover that I have never seen before, which just excited me even more. I finally finished reading the encyclopedia cover to cover last night, as one does, and in a move purposely and maliciously designed to drive me absolutely insane, the new flag is NOT IN THE BOOK. Let's be honest, there is a very particular audience of adults who is going to buy a 400-ish page full color hard cover book about flags. And that audience has a need to consume information in a very, very particular way. The publisher has now created an endlessly looping puzzle where the cover of the book has presented autistic people across the globe with the potential of a tantalizing new fact that the book then has absolutely no intention of delivering. And I know it's not in there, because I've now paged through the book five times just today because I remain convinced I've somehow missed it, and I have to know what that f***ng flag is. And I will not turn to the internet, because I bought the book because it knows more about flags than the internet, and yet it has presented me with only more mysteries which I then probably need a second flag book to answer. Other than that it’s great! ## Frequently Bought Together - The World Encyclopedia of Flags: An Illustrated Guide to International Flags, Banners, Standards and Ensigns - The Complete Guide to Flags of the World, 3rd Edition (IMM Lifestyle Books) 220 Countries & Territories, Over 600 Illustrations & Photos, Flag History & Symbolism, Statistics, De Facto States, & More - The Flag Book (The Fact Book) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/164719491-the-world-encyclopedia-of-flags-an-illustrated-guide-to-international](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/164719491-the-world-encyclopedia-of-flags-an-illustrated-guide-to-international) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
