Default Metro Maps of the World

Just a short note to say that a splendid new book has been published
outlining the history of the maps used to portray the oldest Metro
systems plus examples of maps deployed by many other Metros around the
world. It's a "coffee table" type book costing £25 - on sale at the LT
Museum Shop and possibly elsewhere.
