.Britain and Ireland's Best Wild Places: 500 Ways to Discover the Wild
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Christopher Somerville

July 03, 2008
Christopher's latest is a beautiful book to paw over and dip in and out of. The pictures are evocative and inspiring, and the text just takes you there.

Great to keep in your car so that you always have something interesting to deviate off to when your on a journey. The format reminds me of a more lavish version of the old AA or RAC map/guide books that your Dad used to keep in the glove box and I loved to read as a boy.

.A Rough Guide Map New Zealand (Rough Guide Map)
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Rough Guides

July 31, 2003
I have used this map for two trips around NZ, and will use it again for my third trip later this year as it is still in great condition considering the daily folding and unfolding that you inevitably do as you travel the length and breadth of this fantastic country. As it is small and lightweight it is ideal just to tuck in your suitcase or backpack no need to carry a big bulky map around.

A must for any NZ traveller, at a reasonable price.

Verg good map, if your interrailing, this is much better than the map you get with the ticket, many more stations are listed, although if your just staying in major cities/capitols you can prob make do with the interrail suypplied map.

.Into the Wild
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Jon Krakauer

March 12, 1999
What might motivate someone to cut all ties with their family, to give away all of their money to charity, dispose of their belongings and adopt a life on the road? In this day and age our possessions and vocations end up owning us, so it comes as somewhat of a shock to the system to see that a young and intelligent man would decide to dispose of the normal trappings of life. McCandless is infamous for having starved to death in the Alaskan wilderness, though the book looks at what brought him there.

In fact McCandless had spent a year or more on the road, moving from place to place throughout western and northern USA, holding down some basic jobs for a short time before moving on, seeming to all as though he were just one more drifter ... Read More:

.Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: 25th Anniversary Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Robert M. Pirsig

November 18, 1999
I too had to read it more than once...

What's the point of the author indulging in a 'Chautauqua' on 'Romantic' & 'Classic' 'Values', with the resultant (extravagant) soliloquy on the 'Value' of 'Quality', when the author can't even work out how to relate to his own child (who having spent the majority of his formative years in apparent mental turmoil - brought on by the behaviour of the author, as described in this book - was murdered in San Francisco 2 weeks before his 23rd birthday)?

This book is just another example of self-indulgence sold off as enlightenment...

What's the point? There is NO point.

.Road Atlas France (AA Atlases) (AA Atlases)
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Automobile Association (Great Britain)

November 30, 2007
Only that it's good, has clear mapping and lots of detailed information. It has a ring binding, which I like as this enables you to keep the book open at the desired page without damaging it. It also has a complete index of towns and villages at the back, and each of the city centre maps has its own street index - very useful. Not to mention the small scale route planning map and the map of administrative departments. What more could you need? And it's just about small enough to fit in your glove compartment. So if it seems a little heavy, unwieldy and difficult to navigate at times, well, France is a lot bigger than England.

.AA Road Atlas New Zealand (AA Road Atlases)
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Automobile Association (Great Britain)

September 01, 2005
This atlas was invaluable during my tour of New Zealand's South Island. The scale is large enough that most minor roads are marked with colour coding indicating the grade of road. This gives you a rough idea of whether or not you can drive campervan down a particular road before you get to it.
It is more accurate than a lot of the tourist board maps. One map I was given listed two Campsites with facilities for campervans in Haast. The AA Atlas correctly showed that there was only one. The other one had been granted planning permission years before but had never been built.

The only shortfall of this map is that it gives no clue as to the gradient of the roads to be traversed. Some of the roads in the South Island travel through extermely rugged ... Read More:

.The "Times" Comprehensive Atlas of the World (World Atlas)
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
from: Times Books

September 03, 2007
This is without a doubt the best atlas available. I have other atlases from other publishers but they come nowhere near the Times Atlas for detail. This one has not only large maps showing the big places but also has the detail that you would expect from a map that covers a smaller area showing you the smallest towns.

If I want to look up a place this is the first reference I turn to.
It says 'Comprehensive Atlas of the World' on the cover and that is exactly what it is.

.New York (Popout Map) (Popout Map)

Just got back from New York and had bought prior to going. It was the single most important thing we carried everywhere with us in order to get around manhatten, not only is it detailed but has all the main tourist attractions labelled all in colour. it's nice and compact so you're not unfolding a huge map in the middle of the street every 5 minutes.on the back theres also a subway map to get which was a great bonus too! I totally reccomend buying this if you go to NYC for the first time best £3 i spent! great value for money.
