Hi, great that you're taking an interest to get him a book on cartography. I've recently began doing the same, and books are definitely superior over wikipedia etc.
Yeah, I've been trying to find one as well and the only thing I could find was a shitty t-shirt on the WMATA site in google's cache. Alternatively, this is kind of cool as a coffee table book. One of the additional images shows it has DC in it. I do quite a bit of international traveling so maybe it's just interesting to me but I thought it was a pretty cool idea for a book. I think I may get it pretty soon.
Good idea. I wish I kept more of my transit passes. I'll have to dig up the ones I've saved. BTW, this is an interesting book to accompany your collection.
That was a cool slideshow. Did anyone see the pictures of the Swedish subway system that were on Reddit a month or two ago? Also, has anyone else checked this book out? I snagged a cheap used copy. It definitely focuses on the design aspect of the map, rather than tons of info about the subway, but it'll make any transit geek happy.
is this book common knowledge on r/transit? it's your tumblr in print form.
If you like these, you should probably have a look at Transit Maps of the World which contains a wealth of information on how these maps were designed and evolved.
