Garnstone Press, London, new edition, 1971 hardcover . Cloth 8vo 22 cm. Very Good in lightly soiled dustwrapper. 72 pp plates 31 ills. From the blurb: "This is a concise and fully illustrated introduction by a well-known dealer and collector to a hobby that is rapidly growing in popularity; it admirably answers the need for an inexpensive guide to cartography which can hold pitfalls for the unwary purchaser. Collecting old maps can be very exciting for those who travel who are interested in landscape environment old churches and settlements or who simply wish to invest in them. Mr Radford tells his readers "what they need to know" about antique maps of every continent including how to distinguish an old map from a modern reproduction how to decide what to collect and how maps were coloured. Over a hundred cartographers are described being the important names to look out for and they range from the famous John Speed who produced the first English general atlas in 1627 and Gerard Mercator who gave the term 'atlas' to a systematic collection of maps to Thomas Jefferys the 18th century geographer who made many important maps of America and his successor William Faden.

Isles of Gold: Antique Maps of Japan Weatherhill hardcover New York: . PThe book is a selection of over 90 of the most attractive remarkable and historically significant Japanese and European maps of Japan. The text by Cortazzi tells the fascinating story of the encounter between the West and Japan through the gradual process of mapping the entire empire. Far-ranging Portuguese explorers Jesuit fathers Dutch merchants and English sea captains samurai and shoguns populate this account which is surprisingly rich in drama.

PIncludes 59 color plates and 22 monochrome reproductions of these maps many of which are fold-out. Laid in is a 32" wide X 23" tall "birdseye-view" map of Japan by Kuwagata Keisai.
