Appreciation for Books About Maps and Mapmaking

by Matt Ball on March 5, 2010

There’s a nice book review in today’s New York Times that professes a love for books about maps and reviews several recent examples.

“There’s nothing like sitting by the fire with a good book, except maybe sitting by the fire with a good map — or better yet, a good book about maps. I’ve noticed an upsurge in cartographic interest these days, especially for maps’ value as conceptual artwork. They can be maps of the designer’s mind as well as maps of terrain, concerned not just with topography but with typography too.”
