Eye popping Folio !!!!

This is an excellent edition of Antique Maps reprinted in large format, most of them double page, within a folio(coffee table) size book to begin with. Reproduction quality is very good, all in color, the content informative and not long winded dribble because- most people buy a book such as this for the maps-images. I would grab a copy now while the price is low, books like this seem to live a quite life on the shelf, then disappear and then later only available in the used marketplace at a premium.
