Financial Times

The outlay is undeniable value since here is an opportunity for anyone to get the enjoyment of cartographic treasures when a collection of originals would obviously be beyond consideration.
Farnham Herald

Now, if Harry Margary had been my guide, the journey would have been much more vivid. He is not just a reproducer of decorative maps, but a chronicler of social and architectural history, concentrating in particular on London and its neighbouring counties since the sixteenth century.
The Times

... the maps symbolised and flattered urban pride. They throw open several windows into the past, enabling us to glimpse not only the size and topographical variety of London in the 16th and 17th centuries but also touch, amid the physical fabric of the City, the everyday concerns, thoughts and hopes of its citizens.
Geographical Magazine

When John Rocque's famous map of Central London was published in 1747, purchasers were recommended to mount the map (13ft x 6.5 ft) on rollers. To us with our shrinking wall-spaces and paperback mentalities, it is clearly more convenient to have it in book form. Harry Margary has now packed it into a slim, elegant volume which contains the whole thing.
Daily Telegraph

Clearly, to anyone needing the earliest versions of the Old Series, these volumes will be invaluable. Librarians will appreciate the ease of handling and shelving books rather than maps, and anyone wishing to make a quick check on some small point is likely to turn first to the Margary edition.
The British Agricultural History Society
