Book Reviews of Manhattan in Maps: 1527-1995
Book Review: 5-star-text 1-star-maps
Summary: 2 Stars
I only wish I had the access to the maps that Augustyn and Cohen had in the preparation of this book. Unfortunately for the reader, these maps are not in the book. What's in "Manhattan in Maps" are photographs of maps which in the case all but 6 of the maps are reproduced in a manner which lets you see the outline of Manhattan and no detail in the map whatsoever. There should have been someone involved in the production of the book who was familiar with other books of this type and included for each map some section enlarged to actual size. Some of the maps featured appeared to have been reduced 10x such as a 72 inch map shrunk to 7 inches. The text is wonderful. If the book is every republished, I hope the editors take heed of the reviews here.
