'Some books are beautiful, others are enlightening. STRATA is both ... It’s the best non-fiction book I’ve read in a long time' - Will Gompertz 'Will no doubt remain as a standard reference work for map collectors, map dealers, librarians and historians of science for many years to come, and will likely become a collector’s item in its own right' - International Map Collector’s Society
