The first book was called 'The Map that Came to Life' and was published by Oxford University Press in 1948, reprinted often until at least 1963. John and...

Lots of work for you typing out all that lot! Judging by the price quoted in the Leisure Map Catalogue online (£13.99 ea.), I would assume 'Active' to mean...
I saw one of these "Active" Maps, and the only difference that I could see is that it comes with a plastic cover. I saw it in WHSmiths' In essance comes with...
I think we're on the right track. Bill Henwood thinks they may be water resistant maps of the old style, i.e. not the thick laminated ones we currently see on...

... The arrow looks far too crude to be an OS benchmark and, even if it was, it would need to point to a rivet or some such reference point (which does not...
