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 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.

A world-famous Oxford story from a new angle: the essential role played by the River Thames in the creation of Alice`s Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass. It was on rowing trips with Alice Liddell & her sisters that Lewis Carroll (the Oxford don Charles Dodgson) invented many of the tales which were later incorporated into the books; it was on the riverbank on 4 July 1862 that Wonderland had its birth; & it was from particular incidents on or near the Thames that Carroll drew inspiration for some well-known episodes. Combining excerpts from Carroll`s diaries & the ` Alice` books with contemporary images, memoirs, & fiction, Alice in Waterland sets the Oxford scene of the time (including the burgeoning Pre-Raphaelite movement) & sheds new light on the real individuals who inspired characters such as the Hatter, the Sheep, & the Red Queen. The book takes the reader on a literary journey of discovery along almost ten miles of the Thames near Oxford, in the company of the `merry crew` of Lewis Carroll, Alice, & her sisters on the scenic & lively river of which they were all so fond. ...
