Summary: The Best Maze Book In Years
Comment: I've been fascinated by mazes and labyrinths for many years and have built up a shelf-full of books on the subject. I snatched up The Art of the Maze as soon as I saw it on the display table of a local bookstore and now regard it as the best book in my collection.

It's the result of a happy marriage between two unusual authors: Adrian Fisher, probably the leading authority and builder of mazes working today, and Georg Gerster, the world's best aerial photographer. The photographs of mazes are spectacular but what I most appreciate is the consistently elegant design and layout of the book. It's replete with handsome diagrams and drawings which brilliantly illustrate the principles of maze design.

The text is also superb: thoughtful and truly interesting. Mr. Fisher provides deep and sometimes quirky insights into the history and aesthetics of mazes without ever becoming pedantic. His survey ranges from the mazes of antiquity to the latest innovations from around the world.

The book is published in London and lists its price only in pounds; I suspect it would be very hard to find at most American bookstores. Thank goodness for Amazon!
