This great new edition is even more comprehensive than the last and includes some recently unearthed rarities plus many new contemporary diagrams from across the globe. An excellent companion to Mr Beck’s Underground Map by Ken Garland which focuses exclusively on the development of the London Underground map. Metro Maps Of The World unashamedly takes Mr Beck's diagram as a standard by which other subway maps can be held up against, whilst celebrating the diversity and ingenuity of designers worldwide.
