Review

"Ovenden does what no other design history book has ever done. "Transit Maps of the World" is a must-have."

--"The New York Times Book Review "

"Fantastic."

--"LA Times"

"The perfect book."

--"USA Today"

"Pure catnip."

--William Grimes, "The New York Times "

"This book is the stuff that dreams are made of."

--"Newsday"

"A fabulous collection. These maps are almost works of art, and can kindle a remembrance of a past trip or a dream of a future journey."

--"Seattle Times"

"Impossibly nerdy and thoroughly compelling."

--"Kansas City Star"

"This is the kind of book that would be incredibly fun to browse with kids as part of a world geography investigation--and also the sort of thing that makes great bedtime reading if you want to salt your dreams with the possibility of travel to distant cities. Sheer public transit/map porn!"

--"Boingboing.com"

"Fascinating!"

--Peter Greenberg, "National Public Radio"

"Even if you are not a "map person" this book makes it so easy to experience the unique perspective of rail-based transit. Artistically a treat with its interesting colors, shapes and design; it's a coffee table essential. Ovenden brings a unique perspective to maps and to travel in general. Transit Maps of the World is a must-read for the literary traveller."

--"Literary Traveller.com"

"A vibrant tip of the hat to the world's urban train systems."

--"National Geographic Intelligent Traveller"

"[L]ook no further for the next must-have book."

--"Very Short List"

"The sort of book you couldn't imagine you needed until you got it and now you can't imagine how you could do without it . . . It's fantastic!"

--Robert Elms, BBC London

"Like a "Conde Nast Traveler" magazine for jetsetters with subterranean tendencies."

--"Metro"

"Delightful."

--"The Guardian," London

"A beautifully illustrated study of the plans that help passengers navigate the world's metropolitan railway systems."

--"The Times," London

"An object lesson in information design."

--"Wallpaper"
