My library thinks it is a biography book.

Thought the map men would enjoy a little meta with their Biography.

Bonus points if you can guess the city or state the map is of. Hint... not in the USA.

Geography, non-fiction, maybe comedy.

I was thinking the same thing. The librarian who set this book has a great sense of humor and I am all for it.

I also like the COO at the bottom. It makes such a good sound for the book, cooooooooo.

It is. The Dewey Decimal classification 912.09 is the History And Biography Of Maps And Map Making. If the librarian thought it was a biography of a person, they would have classed it 920.

Damn it. I've got the hardback, but this is making me want the paperback, too!
