Very Spatial reviews Making Maps by John Krygier and Denis Wood, an unusual book that is in my review queue as well. (I’m so profoundly behind on reviews it’s embarrassing, but a review of this book is forthcoming.)

Here’s a reprint of an article from The Irish Times that looks at two hefty, illustrated books: Blaue’s Atlas Maior, which we’ve talked about previously; and The Map Book, edited by Peter Barber, which I knew about but did not have occasion to mention before, it seems.

See previous entries: Guardian Feature on Map Books; Blaeu’s Atlas Maior (1665).
