Ken Garland published a thourough review of Wainwrights
walking guides in Information Design Journal (Volume 7, issue 1,
pages 47-66) entitled "Lead, kindly light. A user's view of the
design and production of illustration walkers' guides'.
I'm pleased that the series will be reprinted
Kind regards,
