Maps, Guides and Books
We hope you find the books, guides and maps listed below informative and interesting.
We regularly use the maps which are the most accurate we have found. We have searched, unsuccessfully, for detailed topographical maps. Breach of copyright is also a problem and we have even come across a map on which it says “... the publisher has included a number of deliberate mistakes so that unauthorised copying can be detected.”
Comments are taken from Amazon.co.uk reviews. For copyright reasons we cannot quote from customer reviews that appear on the Amazon site. The numbers beside the items xx / yy* refer to the number of customer reviews / average star rating (out of 5).
