The Writer's Map: An Atlas of Imaginary Lands
by Huw Lewis-Jones
"Some people argue that maps rein in the imagination because they presuppose a setting for the reader. But I disagree. A map might offer up a forest, for instance, but the reader tells you what the trees smell like. A map might present you with a sea but the reader tells you where the mer-creatures are swimming. Maps invite a closer connection between reader and story.'
Okay, I didn't exactly read this book so much as I looked at the pictures and read their associated blurbs, which is more than enough for me. I've always loved maps, particularly when found in books, and I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of fantastical maps. If they ever do another edition of this book, I hope they add a section on Hiro Kamigaki, the artist of the search-and-find "Detective Pierre" series that features a lot of maps and mazes - I've always been curious where one even starts with such a complex image, and how decisions are made for it.
