John le Carre's London: A Map and Guide to the Circus and More (Herb Lester Associates Guides to the Unexpected) Map – Folded Map, January 15, 2023

This could have been such an awesome thing but unfortunately, almost no effort and certainly no finesse was put into creating this map. Its legend is difficult to read because the color of the printing is too similar to its background. The map is sparsely labeled and, for a giant map to only use numbers to denote its locations of interest, it’s appallingly lazy. Also, very few of London’s streets are labeled, so, if you’re not a Londoner, you need another map of London to help you with this map.I really tried to find some positives because I hate the inconvenience of having to return things. Here’s the only thing I could come up with and, while it isn’t enough for me, it might appeal to others:Somebody who enjoys amateur mapmaking or illustrating could have a lot of fun fleshing this map out themselves with actual information. It might be an enjoyable assignment in an English class, for instance, to turn this map into the useful reference companion it should be. The identifying information about each location is found on the back, so it could be done.Unfortunately, I was unable to overcome my disappointment, so I will be returning this map.
