MapMarks Transit Blog
This week is Transit Map Theme Week at Cartophilia!
In the last several weeks I have either happened across, or had links to interesting transit maps sent my way. So many in fact, I don't want to cram them all in to one post.
Today, I will introduce you to a new blog by Transit Map maven, Mark Ovenden: MapMarks. Mark promises to share with us about "maps, metro's, cartography, transport and a handful of other nonsense."
Mark Ovenden is the author of two recent books on transit maps:
| Transit Maps: The World's First Collection of Every Urban Train Map on Earth |  |
| Paris Underground: The Maps, Stations, and Design of the Metro UPDATE 1/12: This book just got a review in the NewYorker. |  |
Labels: blogs, books, paris, transit maps

I gotta have that Transit Maps book. It looks like an essential tool in studying wayfinding.
I was given the Transit Maps book for my birthday a couple years ago by Mrs. Mapkini, it's really quite good. In the back is a section on "What Ifs", including Cincinnati's never-finished subways and the original Seattle monorail system plan. Well worth it!
I pretty much spend all of my free time staring at those two books!
