Don't worry - I expect it will be heavily remaindered within six

I like looking at railway maps as much as the next gricer, but this
really is a stunningly narrow field of research. "London Underground
Maps Before and After Beck" might have had some merit. "Underground
Railway Maps of the World and the Influence of Beck" would have been
worth a look. But who on earth is going to examine a collection of
virtually identical London Underground maps, where the only changes
over several decades have been the Victoria Line and the gradual creep
of the Jubilee? g, d + r


Er, me?
