I¹m intrigued by the general description of this book, but am wondering,
since the emphasis in the title is on maps, what is the criteria for
inclusion of a particular engraver. Specifically, how much the coverage
extends to print engravers in general who had little to do with maps?
(Because in addition to maps, we also carry a lot of British prints of
various subjects.) And if someone engraved landscape or topographical views
-- for example, a series of town or river views -- but not maps, would they
be included in this book?
That being said, it sounds like an incredible resource that goes well beyond
other references available with respect to biographical information about
British map and globe makers.

This is certainly one those rare, genuinely 'must have' reference books. It
has just been published:
British Map Engravers : A Dictionary of Engravers, Lithographers and Their
Principal Employers to 1850
by Laurence Worms and Ashley Baynton-Williams
They may have been 'British' but their productions covered the globe.
