.New York Wallpaper City Guide (Wallpaper City Guides (Phaidon Press))
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Wallpaper* Magazine

October 02, 2006
I used to be a slave to Time Out city guides but got frustrated after a trip to Prague where several places in my brand new guide were out of business. I have since found out that the writing, subbing, publishing, distribution turnarounds on these sorts of books takes months. If you want the latest information you need to use the internet which can be updated more easily. The Wallpaper* City Guides are great value and easy to carry around, they don't scream "MUG ME I'M A TOURIST!" due to their discreet size. The recommendations are always about aesthetically gorgeous places, so if like me this is what floats your boat, then I recommend these publications. Plus, they look great lined up on your bookshelf.

.Suzy Gershman's Born to Shop New York: The Ultimate Guide for People Who Love to Shop (Born To Shop)
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Suzy Gershman

August 22, 2008
I bought this book before my second trip to New York. I must admit I thought I knew most of the shops in NY before I read it but boy was I wrong! It is an invaluable guide for both first timers and experienced shoppers. The maps in it are among the best I have seen in any NY guidebook let alone one devoted exclusively to shopping! I would recommend that anyone going to NY buys this book, it is well worth it!

.Tenerife (AA Island Maps)
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
from: Automobile Association

June 15, 2003
This is a serious map of Tenerife - showing just about every conceivable geographical feature (in colour) and location, plus detailed street plans of the main towns. Be warned though - the map is double-sided and measures some 3' x 3'4", so it is BIG. It can also come in useful as a sun-screen for inside the vehicle!

.The Map That Changed the World: A Tale of Rocks, Ruin and Redemption
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Simon Winchester

July 04, 2002
Simon Winchester tells the largely forgotten story of self-taught geologist William Smith, the father of modern geology. Though the "barely educated lower middle class scholar takes on academic and social establishments and (eventually) wins" formula is not exactly original, the book is pacy enough and the human and scientific interests well balanced enough to keep it an enthralling read.

William Smith was the son of an Oxfordshire blacksmith. His childhood fascination with rocks and fossils led to his employment as a surveyor of mines and builder of canals, and to his discovery that the rocks of his native county lay in strata, always in the same order and always bearing the same unique fossils in each layer. He theorised that this ... Read More:

.AA Best Drives California (AA Best Drives)
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: AA Publishing

January 15, 2007
In preparing for a California road trip, this book has been extremely useful. It offers a range of photographs to give a real sense of what each journey will 'look like' at different stages, it describes each notable location en route and, between descriptions, it describes the actual journey from place to place.
It includes as number of suggested journeys, but you can pick and mix parts of different routes to suit your own itinerary.
It has also been recently revised, in January 2007, and so is up to date.
A good buy.
