Despite his best efforts to find the right time for us to meet, unfortunately Mike Parker never managed to make it here on his travels while researching his book on map addiction (an infatuation I share). If his publisher's notes are to be believed then Mike, whose 'own impressive map collection was founded on a virulent teenage shoplifting habit', seems to have produced a thorough, and entertaining, 'celebration of all things maps'. It's out on 30 April and it's on my wish list.
