It is amazing how many books don't have maps in them...I mean book that SHOULD have maps: guide books, field guides, books having a geographic theme. I am frequently surprised at the lack of an appropriate map.

Just another optional cost to the publisher.

Well, I only missed two and there were for books I had not read, so I feel pretty good!  Especially as some of them were very hard to read.

How well do you know your way around literature? Have a look at these maps and find out if you know which fictional worlds they chart
