The Map Room

Steven Heller’s roundup of map books in the book review section of tomorrow’s New York Times includes some familiar titles, such as Mark Ovenden’s Paris Underground (which I reviewed last November), Frank Jacobs’s Strange Maps, and The Map as Art by Katharine Harmon (a review of which is forthcoming). It also covers books I wasn’t aware of before this, including Mapping the World: Stories of Geography by Caroline and Martine Laffon, and Jan Conradi’s Unimark International, a history of Massimo Vignelli’s eponymous design firm.
