I regret to have to say that Birmingham Central Library's copy of Monmonier appears to have been stolen or otherwise misappropriated. I will try to replace it, but at least have the consolation that someone was interested enough to want it.

It does no harm to inform newspaper readers, or to remind those new to maps on, e.g., 'Lis-maps' and - where it was originally posted - MapHist', about the piece's general premise, even though it be 'old hat' to the better-informed amongst us!

"How to Lie with Maps" by Monmonnier has been around since 1991, and as far as I'm concerned is my basic cartographic text book! I'm afraid the Times has lost it!
