The Art of Map Illustration: A Step-By-Step Artistic Exploration of Contemporary Cartography and Mapmaking by Hennie Haworth, Stuart Hill, James Gulliver Hancock

5.0

This was such a creative and inspiring book! I wish I had read it before my trip to New York. I have always loved the idea of bringing a journal with you everywhere you go when traveling to a new city, so that you can jot down small things you've done, conversations you overheard, and interesting things you've seen. The idea of creating maps, of these locations, and adding in small drawing of buildings, attractions, parks, etc is immensely exciting to me. Personally, i'm not a very good drawer... but i could still see something like this being a life long keepsake. The book came with simple instructions, and great ideas. I couldn't get enough of it. I will be purchasing this for a more artistic friend of mine, who is going backpacking across Europe for her honeymoon.


A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!
