Cloth, xii, 140 pp, colour plates. The improvements to this new edition of Maps and Map-Makers include many additional biographies and Lists of Maps; a number of additional illustrations; and a completely fresh chapter on the Maps of the Scandinavian Countries. From various reiews quoted on the dustwrapper: "This is the most comprehensive book and the most attractive on maps ever written." (The Oxford Mail); ".a magnificently illustrated study of map-making from the earliest times to the mid-nineteenth century.' (The Daily Telegraph); "It is the first really extensive catalogue raisonne on its subject." (New Statesman and Nation) "No book quite like Maps and Map-Makers, nor so useful in its way, has ever been published in England. Nor have we any work on this subject so well or so generously illustrated, for it contains nearly a hundred large plates, several of them in colour. It has come very opportunely." (The Spectator); "This is the most comprehensive book on maps yet published in England." (The Times (Weekly Edition)). Small dent to rear board and corresponding nick to dustwrapper, otherwise Very Good in Good price-clipped dustwrapper. Nº de ref. del artículo: ABE-32363
