Given that Amazon list this item as a paperback book I was disappointed to say the least when I received it to find out it's nothing more than a folded up map. Interesting it may be, but not worth the money, and Amazon should not be so misleading with their listings!

Important! This is not a book although it looks like one from the picture! This is a large reproduction of the famous London Underground map with a historical flavour throw in . Every station and line that ever exsisted is added complete with opening dates aswell as closing dates of the ones that have now dissapeared. Remember the Underground evolved from numerous private railways as well as some B.R lines so they are all throw in aswell.You will find this onsale at their museum but it is more expensive. Great for the wall or keep folded for reference.

To the reviewer who complains that the description is misleading, that is hardly a fault of the author. The product is what it says it is, a diagrammatic history.
With respect, the criticism misses the point.
You are not paying for a book, you are paying for the work and research that has gone into the history and its presentation. You should judge the history by the quality of its information and how interesting and informative it is, and to some extent the quantity of information. Speaking personally, it's fortunate that the research has been reduced to a manageable and easily assimilable form.
It's easier to write at length than to produce a work that is lean, tight and yet full of information.
One small carp-ette. The Amazon description of the work has "diagramatic". Shouldn't it have two m's, not one?
