Francis et al. -- A gold star for alliteration, but instead of
translating "Dienstbare Kaarten" in the title of this book as "Menial
Maps," I'm wondering whether "Useful Maps," or "Functional Maps" might
be better. Isn't "menial" a bit meanial?

Also from HES & De Graaf [see: [email protected]], a book that I
overlooked yesterday. Please NB that, as the publishers announce, this
publication is in Dutch; I have kindly supplied a ‘free’ translation
of the title in English, attempting a little alliteration . . . Other
insertions also by me in [square brackets]/parentheses.

Dienstbare Kaarten Een cartografische geschiedenis van het Koninklijk
Nederlands Aardrijkskundig Genootschap en het Tijdschrift, 1873-1966
[=Menial maps: a cartographic history of the Royal Dutch Geographical
Society and its periodical 'Tijdschrift', 1873-1966]
By [Dr] P[aul] van den Brink
The main focus of attention in this study are the more than 3000 maps
which were published by the Magazine (Tijdschrift) of the Royal Dutch
Geographical Society (Koninklijk Nederlands Aardrijkskundig
Genootschap) between 1873 and 1966. These have been divided into four
periods, which are discussed in the elaborate introduction and which
gives a complete overview of the history of the Society. The wealth
and variation of the cartographical material, which has been published
in this leading magazine (tijdschrift) for almost a century, led
worldwide to major interest among collectors and researchers. All maps
are extensively described and have been made even more accessible by
adding indices on name, area and subject.
