Mapping the West

Summary: A Collector's Delight
Review: I can recommmend this book in three ways-as a coffee table book, as a map collector's reference book, and as a history book. As a book out on your living room table, visitors will be sure to pick it up and review it. As a collector's reference it is wonderful. A good overview of various maps, some one of a kind, with a great writeup on each map and mapmaker. It may become a "reference" book, whereby the maps shown are more desirable to collectors simply because they are listed in "Cohen". Finaly, it is a great history book dealing with the exploration of America westward. Highly recommend to anyone interested in maps and mapping, or in American history.
