Topographic coverage of mainland Spain at 1:50, 000 in the MTN50 (Mapa Topográfico Nacional) series from the Centro Nacional de Información Geografica, the country’s civilian survey organization. The maps have contours at 20m intervals, enhanced by relief shading, plus colouring and/or graphics to show different types of terrain, vegetation or land use. Boundaries of national parks & other protected areas are marked. In addition to all the usual information featured on topographic mapping at this scale, detailed presentation of the road & rail networks, rural tracks & paths, etc, the maps also show campsites & mountain refuges. On more recent editions some GRs, the official long-distance hiking routes, are also marked (although not as clearly as on hiking maps from other publishers). Each map covers 29.5x 18.5 km (with adjustments in the border or coastal areas). The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, plus margin ticks for latitude & longitude at 1` intervals. Map legend is in Spanish only.HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT 50K MAP: all the titles in CNIG’s 200K Provincial Road Maps series at 1:200, 000 are overprinted with the grid for the 1:50, 000 maps & can be used to see the area covered by each 50K title.

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

‘ This belated collection shows us the depths of Fitzgerald`s vision & talent. Only now are we beginning to appreciate what was lost’ The Pool I`d Die for You is a collection of the last remaining unpublished short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald, iconic author of The Great Gatsby & Tender Is the Night. All eighteen short fictions collected here were lost in one sense or another: physically lost, coming to light only recently; lost in the turbulence of Fitzgerald`s later life; lost to readers because his editors sometimes did not understand what he was trying to write. These fascinating stories offer a new insight into the arc of Fitzgerald`s career, & demonstrate his stylistic agility & imaginative power as a writer at the forefront of Modern literature. ‘ Superbly edited & annotated, this richly fascinating miscellany is a marvellous reminder of what was lost when, at forty-four, a coronary killed Fitzgerald’ Sunday Times‘ Forward-thinking for their time... Fitzgerald was a master of short story writing’ The Times‘ This much-vaunted collection of stories... is a ragtag bundle of surprises, curios, irrelevancies & delights... We can marvel at the strength of his imagination, his display of elegance & precision’ Sunday Telegraph‘ Readers will find much to enjoy in this gorgeously produced book’ New York Times‘A beguiling meditation on the dark side of wealth & the American dream’ Independent ...

Long before he was the taco seller whose ` Gringo Dog` recipe made him famous throughout Mexico City, our hero was an aspiring artist: an artist, that is, till his would-be girlfriend was stolen by Diego Rivera, & his dreams snuffed out by his hypochondriac mother. Now our hero is resident in a retirement home, where fending off boredom is far more gruelling than making tacos. Plagued by the literary salon that bumps about his building`s lobby & haunted by the self-pitying ghost of a neglected artist, Villalobos` old man can`t help but misbehave: he antagonises his neighbours, tortures American missionaries with passages from Adorno, & flirts with the revolutionary greengrocer.A delicious take-down of pretensions to cultural posterity, I`ll Sell You a Dog is a comic novel whose absurd inventions, scurrilous antics & oddball characters are vintage Villalobos. ...
