Reprint of the 1914 first edition. Sir George Fordham was born in 1859 and produced many publications describing the maps and road books of the British Isles and France and donated his personal road book collection to the Royal Geographical Society. The Society triennially awards the Sir George Fordham Award for Cartobibliography, a term introduced by him for the cataloguing of maps in a systematic plan. This useful bibliography covers the following: British and Irish Itineraries and Road-Books, Descriptive List of the Maps of the Great Level of the Fens, 1604-1900, John Cary, Engraver, Map-Seller and Globe-maker, An Itinerary of the Sixteenth Century: La Guide des Chemins d'Angleterre, A Bibliography of Works of Reference relating to British and French Topography and Cartography, An Introduction to the Study of the Cartography of the English and Welsh Counties, and Index List of Maps of Hertfordshire, 1579-1900.

AN IMPERFECT SOLUTION.
by D'Ambrosio, Joe
Limited to 50 signed, numbered copies. (Bradbury, D'Ambrosio 2, 56; D'Ambrosio 175, 180). Five special boxes bound in a series between the two covers, with linking texts. Various items within the boxes, such as sea shells, pearls, turquoise, silver, dried flowers, coral, and variously colored papers. A specially cast page is backlit by a tiny bulb that lights when that page is opened. The binding features a cut-out castle form on both front and back covers with floral cloth spine and edges. Title and colophon are on outside binding. A very innovative and unusual production.
