Collecting Antique Maps

Description

Collecting Antique Maps

A lovely guide on collecting antique maps, filled with good color illustrations.  Jonathan Potter, a well-respected map dealer, writes an introduction to the history of cartography and tells about the look of old maps, the history of their making, and looks at what types of maps are available of different parts of the world.  This 3rd edition includes a price guide to antique maps, which though out-of-date now, does give a relative value to different types of maps that can be very useful for the collector.  Highly recommened.
