Summary: THANK YOU AMAZON
Comment: I saw an article on this book in CIVILIZATION magazine and looked forward to buying it. Just as I was about to call the Library of Congress and order it, I thought I would check Amazon. Thankfully, Amazon reviewers noted the conspicuous shortcomings of this expensive book. Thank you, Amazon for saving me money. Buy the magazine - all the maps are in color.

Summary: A good idea --- poorly executed
Comment: This is not the first book of literary maps I've seen. I an a former junior high school librarian and had several in my reference section. When I saw the ad for this book I thought it would be the definitive book of the type. It isn't. All but a few of the maps are printed in black and white. By the time the maps were reduced small enough to fit on the page, they were pretty much too small to read. Save your money.

Summary: Now I know why this book wasn't reviewed by Booklist
Comment: How sad that someone would go to all this effort to puttogether something that is basically useless. The print on the mapsis too small to read. All but 20 of the 278 pages of maps are in black and white. I thought I'd be getting something that my grandchildren could use as they were coming up through the years. There is always something about having a map that intrigues all of us, and adds a little bit more to our imaginations. When I was a junior high school librarian, I had several books of literary maps. Unfortunately, I don't remember their names. The students just loved them. Save your money on this one.
