Manchester: Mapping the City by Terry Wyke
Manchester is one the world's most iconic cities. Not only was it the first industrial city, it can claim to be the first post-industrial city. This book uses historic maps and unpublished and original plans to chart the dramatic growth and transformation of Manchester.'In the field of urban historical cartography you surely cannot get a better book than thisI certainly cannot think of a publication on the cartography of London which matches not only the breadth and depth of this volume, but also the quality of its production, from the weight of its paper, to its binding and the sharpness of its reproductions'
-- AH Schulenburg * Society of Cartographers Bulletin *'An endlessly fascinating anthology of the most important (and often unorthodox) maps of Manchester throughout its history. A truly beautiful book'
