Making the Times Comprehensive Atlas Luxury edition, and competition to win your own

“After more than a century of costume changes, the Times atlas has become a more refined creature. Its latest incarnation — a bespoke, luxury edition — is like a Rolls-Royce of mapping.”

The Times Travels section on Saturday (14 Nov) had a feature by Kathleen Wyatt, Travel Editor on her (dream come true) visit to the Book Works Studio to see how the Luxury Edition of the Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World is hand crafted to order.

“As I fantasised about sheets of gold leaf, initialled spines and slipcases, I realised what was missing from Google’s great crane in the sky — feeling.”

View her article at Times Online: Confessions of a map fetishist, and win your own bespoke atlas, worth £2,000 by answering the question, by 5pm on Wednesday (18th Nov 09).
