I love maps and have needed them for all my books so far, but never had the sense to marry a graphic designer.<br /><br />They're really wonderful maps, Caroline. Like all the best ones, they make me want to read the story that will bring them to life. Great post - thank you.alberridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15986443240923520466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-63610304973979799772012-06-09T11:16:17.022+01:002012-06-09T11:16:17.022+01:00What a lovely collaboration and meeting of minds a...What a lovely collaboration and meeting of minds and talents.

Your post also reminds me how touched I was when I saw that the book designer of the Japanese edition of GIDEON THE CUTPURSE had gone to endless trouble to piece together a map of the protagonists' journey from 18th-century Derbyshire to London, complete with tiny figures. That Japanese map made me see my own story with fresh eyes. Good luck with P K Pinkerton no.2.Linda B-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01599899073420595717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-67730214456865636612012-06-09T04:56:27.290+01:002012-06-09T04:56:27.290+01:00I do like it when books have maps - you can find o...I do like it when books have maps - you can find out where you are in the story! When the book takes place in a real location it is even better if you can actually see the place where something happened. Sadly, that does not happen very often in Australia.catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.com
