Márton –
I love this roadbook and now, just 2 weeks before my trip, I started reading it again.
On the 10th page there is a table with all the islands’ area and population data. When calculating the area in sq.miles, you have divided the km2 data with only 1.609, instead of 2.589 (1.609*1.609). Not a big problem, but it may confuse some people who don’t understand km2 🙂
