from Free Press
Price: $17.29

Customer Review:
This is my favorite book of the year. I am giving it to friends and family for Christmas. It is the story of the map that named America -- a remarkable map that is now the central feature in the lobby of the Library of Congress in Washington. But, told engagingly by Toby Lester, it is also a story... more info

from Studio
Price: $16.02

Customer Review:
Like the author, I like maps, but unlike me, he got bored with the standard variety. He began a web site with the most unusual maps he could find -- from which web site came this book.
It is a remarkable collection. There are maps showing California as an island, of what Africa might have... more info

4.The Map BookThe Map Book
from Walker & Company
Price: $30.00

Customer Review:
I really looked forward to getting this book and wish I had read the reviews first. While I can enjoy the overall design of the maps, I certainly found my enjoyment lessened by the fact that I cannot read the print on most of them, even with a magnifying glass. This, in turn, lessened the appeal of... more info

5.The Map That Changed the World: A Tale of Rocks, Ruin and RedemptionThe Map That Changed the World: A Tale of Rocks, Ruin and Redemption
from Penguin Books Ltd
Price: $8.20

Customer Review:
Previous reviews of "The Map" here have years ago pointed out its shortcomings: the erratic and confusing timeline, the occasionally odd, rhapsodic prose that bubbles up in the narrative, and the occasional stylistic difficulty in mixing biography with geology. Nonetheless, if you like biography and... more info

THE BOOK ARRIVED IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT HAS ONLY SLIGHT DARK MARK SHOWING ON THE EDGE AND DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH READING OR USING THE BOOK AT ALL. I AM VERY PLEASED AND WILL USE YOUR SERVICE AGAIN.

from Little, Brown and Company
Price: $28.29

Customer Review:
Well, I'm kind of split on this one. This is a great, comprehensive treatment of maps across time, history, and cultures. That said, Virga's socio-political viewpoint leaks out throughout the book. So, it makes a great reference book for the evolution of maps around the world, with lots of great... more info
