Pages: 11 (A4) / 11 (US Letter). Formats: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; the cover is dark, so start from page 2 to save ink.

Every fact is written in our own words and checked against named sources from Manx National Heritage (its visiting, learning and news pages, its 2026 access guide and its Google Arts & Culture story), the Northern Mine Research Society, Visit Isle of Man, Historically Manx, Isle of Man Today, the BBC and the Illustrated London News of 1854 (the landmark comparison also uses UK Parliament, the Eiffel Tower’s official site, the US National Park Service and Tower Bridge) (checked 13 Nov 2026); the sources are listed on the credits page. Where sources give different figures, each is shown with its source. Our own opinions are clearly labelled.
