Leinster North Pevsner Architectural Guide, in a series of publications begun with the express aim of providing up-to-date guides to the most significant buildings in every part of the country, suitable for both general reader & specialist.

About these maps: Street maps covering a slightly smaller area than that represented on the Falk Extra edition, thus folding down to a more handy size (10 x 17cm). Some of them are drawn with a varying scale which, for clarity, presents the city centre at a slightly larger scale than the outer districts. Main landmarks & public buildings are indicated, also one-way streets, car parks & all the public transport facilities eg. tram & bus routes, U-bahns. These plans of larger cities include a separate map of the town centre at a more detailed scale & a diagram of the U-Bahn & the suburban rail network.
