5.0 out of 5 stars A visual treat, 10 Jan 2008
By K. HARPER "Kourtney" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a beautiful book, worthy of pride-of-place on your coffee table or your library shelf. If you're a "map person," you will relish hundreds of illustrations published between the covers. These generously-sized images give you a real opportunity to pore over the details on historical maps, and the accompanying text will teach you something new.
It is an ambitious undertaking to publish a book like this, and Simon Foxell has certainly done justice to his topic. From the famous (eg Hollar's Panorama) to the obscure, the maps are presented in full colour with extended captions. Foxell provides historical context and analyses the role of maps and the information they provide. Open the book to any page, and you'll find something to delight your eyes and tickle your brain.
A great gift for your favourite London-ophile (if that's even a word!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book, 8 April 2009
By SG (Surrey) - See all my reviews
The maps were beautifully reproduced and the text layout complimented the illustrations rather than swapmed them. Having read the book cover to cover I was slightly irritated by the number of typographical errors - given the high production values, someone could have made a better job of proof reading - but don't let that put you off.
I would have appreciated the inclusion of enlargements of selected areas of some of the maps as they would have been of benefit: showing entire maps on a single page didn't always make it possible to appreciate the level of detail within them.
However, this is a genuinely beautiful book and I thoroughly recommend it.
