Here's a gem from Google Maps - a look at all the public libraries and bookstores across the country as of Summer 2013. h\t Chicago Public Library
Mapping a Literary City
Using turn of the century maps of London as a jumping off point the designers of Dorothy devised this literary street map. The map features "over 600 books from the history of English Literature (and a few favourites from further afield)" It also features a handy A-Z key listing all the books featured along with the author's name and the date first published. They are offering 2 versions of the map: A limited edition 4 colour litho print on 120gsm Keaykolour China White uncoated paper or an open trade edition. I want to live on Charing Cross Road near the bookshop :-) Images courtesy...
