COMMENTS ON EDITION 2

I’ve been a fan of these maps ever since the first edition came out, because they are not only more beautiful than others but also more useful. I have given them to many elementary and middle school classrooms, and their students like them because it is easier for them to point out places they recognize. The new version is even better, with the changes in geography across areas much clearer. Get this map and read it before you plan your next sightseeing trip, and you might change where you go. –AK, Seattle, Washington

Thank you for creating such a beautiful (and informative) map - it truly is a work of art. –RM, Denver, Colorado

My framed copy of the first edition hangs next to my dining-room table so my kids will look at it each morning and evening. We often stop during meals to find a place on the map. Hope you know how much we love your work. I have a feeling it will inspire a lifelong love of maps in my children. The framed v3 would be for me. –WL, Phoenix, Arizona

I love my framed 2nd edition. It hangs in pride of place in my home, and I have already spent many a happy hour perusing it and admiring the many thoughtful details and layers of information. I'm proud to be able to support the work of this master cartographer in a small way. –TS,  Issaquah, Washington

Your passion reminds me that you follow in the footsteps of the great cartographers from history... –TA, Buffalo, New York

Map makes me want to touch it, having to remember the terrain is 2D cartography. –JC, Fayetteville, North Carolina

I have to say, the map exceeded my expectations which were formed solely on the superlatives that it had received from cartographic connoisseurs.
