5/10 1%VFM. One of the nicest looking/quality paperbacks I’ve ever seen but just didn’t live up to the hype - I had no interest in the easier puzzles (though understand these could be a gateway book to young readers) and few of the hard challenges were about map reading vs say anagrams.
Given that the whole history of cartography is riddled with British achievements, disappointed the publisher felt the need to incur the added eco burden of printing in Italy rather than local.
It would also have been, for me, preferable if each maps location in the country was more clearly marked and they did indeed follow a journey round the country as distinct from being, as far as I can tell, randomly jumbled or organised by time?
May donate to the charity shop - the nicely produced cover is hard to damage.

A lovely idea and I always enjoy poring over OS maps but too many of the quiz questions are anagrams and similar rather than testing map reading. The introductions to the forty sets of questions do provide basic historical information and some thought-provoking perspectives.
