This Ladybird book, titled "Understanding Maps" and published in 1978, is a collectable piece of classic literature. The hardback binding and matte finish give it a vintage feel, while the illustrations by Ronald Lampitt add to its beauty. The book is a part of the Series 671 and is an original, not a reproduction. The book is written in English and covers the subject of understanding maps. It is not personalised or signed, but it does have special attributes such as being illustrated and in its original form. The book was printed in the United Kingdom and is a great addition to any collection of antiquarian and collectable books.
