----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Yesterday I took the car in for the 6,000 mile check up and was able to spend quite a bit of time in a nearby Barnes & Noble bookstore. One of the things I looked over were the books on wine. There seems to be a plethora of wine atlases and wine books illustrated with maps. Has anyone ever done a comparative review of the cartography in such books? I don't mean a review of the text, but a comparison of the "information bearing" ability of the different graphic techniques. Not sure if this worth doing, however interesting it might be intrinsically. J
