Advance praise for The Island of Lost Maps
"Just like the most elegant of the maps at the center of this
intricate tale, Miles Harvey's impeccably written guide to the
extraordinary and unsung
obsession of the cartomaniac is intriguing, beguiling, and refined.
And as with the best of maps, the more one looks, the more
fascinating and intriguing it all becomes."
--Simon Winchester, author of The Professor and the Madman
"The Island of Lost Maps is an intriguing literary adventure story,

journey of
a strange and remarkable map thief, author Miles Harvey takes
readers on a compelling exploration of the weird world of
maps."
