British Library Desk Diary 2012: Historic Maps In Detail Read Free Books and Download eBooks
The British Library's collection of maps is unrivalled in its historical and geographical scope. Many maps contain extraordinary details of the places they depict — and the way of life at the time of drawing. Illustrations of ships and marketplaces denote trade and money, those of crime and punishment reinforce law and order, and those of buildings, churches and palaces display wealth and patronage. The British Library Pccket Diary 2012 focuses on the interesting details that might often be missed when viewing the map in its entirety, and thereby offers a unique glimpse into the past. Illustrated in colour throughout with a week to a view, the diary is also available in pocket format.

This is a nice "book" b/c that's how it's presented - as a hardback & not a spiral bound or easily opened journal. The quality is excellent but I'm returning mine since it's not what I was expecting. I thought, from the description, this would highlight historic maps of Great Britain through the years. Wrong. Here's a smattering: Southern Hemisphere engraving, 1657; China, 1800; Constellation Cetus, 1834; Mexico, 1600...As you can see, there's a lot of variety. Again, this is a well done item & might make a great gift for Map lovers but it didn't feature historic England as I'd hoped.
