澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 previously reviewed Blue Crow🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s London Underground Architecture and Design Map back in 2017, and they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve just released two new maps in the series celebrating Paris and New York🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s transit systems (there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also another map in the series for Moscow).

As before, the maps are simple but elegant in their execution, with a geographical map of the system on one side and the explanatory text and photos on the other. They come in handsome slip covers: I particularly like the die-cut Métro logo (based off one found at Franklin D. Roosevelt station) on the Paris cover.

Understandably, the text of each entry has to be kept brief because of space limitations (even more so for the Paris edition because of its need for English and French translation), but there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s always enough to attract the reader🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s interest. One could certainly imagine a day spent in either of these cities finding the treasures described within. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a wide variety of architecture and art included ranging from all time periods, so there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s something for everyone!

As with the London edition, perhaps the only fault with these maps is that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not enough of a link between the two sides: the map and the text almost seem to exist as two disparate elements – slightly larger station labels on the map are the only indication that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s accompanying text on the reverse side. However, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not a deal breaker in any way: if you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re planning a trip to New York or Paris and have any interest in the art, architecture or history of their transit systems, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d definitely recommend picking up a copy!
