Wall map of wine producing regions of western, central & southern Europe from Editions Benoit. A different colour is used for each country to highlight its wine growing regions & a table gives overall production figures. Information is provided only for the regions up the eastern border of Germany & the northern borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary & Romania. Areas outside that line, e.g. the vineyards of southern Ukraine are not included.A base with shading for mountain chains & main towns is overprinted with colours highlighting wine growing areas. Principal wine producing regions are named, although the degree of detail varies from country to country; more, inevitably, in France where regions such as Bordeaux or Burgundy are divided into sectors (Médoc, Graves, Côte de Nuits, Maconnais, etc.), whilst in Italy only names of administrative regions are given, i.e. Tuscany but not Chianti (no colouring within England although Sussex & Essex are designated as wine growing regions). Also included is a table showing various wine production figures both for the counties covered by the map & for the remaining European wine producers. All information is in French. ...

The Atlas of True Names reveals the etymological roots, or original meanings, of the familiar terms on today`s map of Europe. For instance, where you would normally expect to see London indicated, the ‘ Atlas’ gives you ” Hillfort. The ` True Names` of 1500 cities, countries, rivers, oceans & mountain ranges are displayed on this fascinating map, which

Includes:: a comprehensive index of derivations. Etymology is the study of the origin & history of words. For the first time, the Atlas of True Names uses etymology to give us an unusual insight into familiar geographical names
- with intriguing results...... Many geographical names are clearly rooted in Man’s observation of his natural environment; the physical location of a settlement: “ At the Foot of the Mountain”
- Piedmont, the character of an important water course: “ The Gentle One”
- The Seine or even just the local vegetation: “ Under the Oaks”
- Potsdam. Unsurprisingly, countries & landscapes often derive their names from the characteristics of the people who lived there: “ Great Land of the Tattooed”
- Great Britain, whilst local mythology & regional rulers also frequently leave their legacy: “ Isle of the Monster’s Eye”
- Peleponnese or “ Illustrious Emperor”
- Zaragoza. The Atlas of True Names restores an element of enchantment to the world we all think we know so well. It takes the reader on a journey into the unknown
- a unique exploration of uncharted territory in that familiar place we all know as ‘home’. Take a look at the world through fresh eyes!

Dirk Leyman became interested at a very young age in these peculiar accordion postcard albums, which every self-respecting tourist & souvenir hunter used to take home from their holiday. Dirk started to systematically collect them as time went by. The snapshots, which are folded in zig-zag fashion, are like relics of a long-gone era. Some are veritable typographical & photographic gems. Others are borderline kitsch, with their heavy-handed use of colour. Europe Express spans the decades between the two World Wars to the early Eighties, with photos of San Marco in Venice & the elegant Grand Hotels & the utopian, upstanding world of the former Soviet Union. ...
