Historical Maps of Canada by Michael Swift

Interesting map selection and text. The maps though are printed WAY too small and are often impossible to read even with magnification. As much as it is nice to see the entire surface of an old map it is much nicer to actually be able to read the words on the map.

Photographic reproductions of old Canadian maps. A little hard to read some of the details, but fascinating for map lovers.
