The mapping of North America : three centuries of… por John Goss
Important map reference book for North America up to 1860 (85) fine map reproductions in full color very well done
Being a lavishly illustrated coffee table history of cartography up to early modern times. The text is very substantive and the many examples of maps are appealing. The chronological coverage sputters to a halt far too soon, though. This should have been titled "The Mapmaker's Art vol.1 : to 1700"

I love this book. I consider this a bargain at $30. Not only does it have city plans from 1500-1600, but it has a lot from Spain, and people are frequently featured along with ships.
