It provides clear, practical answers to many of the questions collectors face and is beautifully illustrated with maps that can be collected in today’s market.

Whether you are a neophyte or a veteran collector, or just love maps, this book belongs in your library.  It is also a gorgeous book that will be equally at home on your coffee table.
