The Map Reader is moving fast toward printing and publication.

We are working hard checking and correcting the page proofs. Its going to be a big book - well over 500 pages in length. There are 60 chapters, including 5 new essays we've written to introduce the different sections. The table of contents lists the wide range of key work on mapping we have chosen to excerpt.

Here is the pageproof draft of the foreword that gives some background on why we produced the book and how we made our selection of material.
