'It is the first really extensive catalogue raisonné 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.'- Dr EDWARD LYNAM in The Spectator. 

'This is the most comprehensive book on maps yet published in England' - The Times (Weekly Edition).

'Amateur collectors will find this book most useful; experts, librarians and booksellers will hardly be able to dispense with it as a reference book.' - The American Geographical Magazine.
