5.0 out of 5 stars I love it, 14 Nov 2003
By 
H. Robertson (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Metro Maps of the World (World Maps) (Hardcover)
I was given this book as a present last week and have been dipping in to it every day since. It is not just a book of maps - it is a book about maps and the text really brings things together. Although it is worth buying just for the pictures it is actually worth reading as well

I have never really thought about underground maps as maps before - just diagrams, but this book really opened my eyes.
Underground maps are such a synthesis of design functionality and art and this book brings them alive.

I will never look at a London tube map in the same light again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for every Underground Map fan, 9 Dec 2003
This review is from: Metro Maps of the World (World Maps) (Hardcover)
Mark Ovenden has done an excellent job in compiling all the world's underground maps. He compares and analyzes the different styles, contrasts the maps with older, often rare historic editions. The most important metro cities are also illustrated with nice colour photos. All in all a great book for any metro enthusiats.

5.0 out of 5 stars A knowledgable and informative little book, 21 Nov 2003
By 
Andrew Swain (Chesterfield, Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Metro Maps of the World (World Maps) (Hardcover)
This book will appeal to so many different readers, from those casually browsing the excellent coloured diagrams...to those wanting to gain an insight into the history of how the metro-systems came about. You don't even have to be a connoisseur of the metro to enjoy this book. Use it as a reference or keep it on the coffee table, once you open the pages from the first to the last, you'll learn something new.
