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

2.0

I got this book because I have a kid who is really interested in maps, and I thought this book would show different style of map drawing. I was disappointed because it was really one style - those kinds of illustrated maps one usually picks up as a souvenir when on vacation.

The book does show these types of maps from different artists, and discusses what software you can use to create these kinds of maps.

So if you are into that thing, it would be a good resource, but if you were hoping to learn how to draw regular kinds of maps, this is not the book for you.
