Map that changed the world, paperback/simon winchester

B format edition of a hugely successful Viking hardback, which has the potential to be one of the biggest non-fiction paperbacks of 2002.

It tells the story of William Smith, a farmers son who went on to become the father of modern geology.

A number one bestseller in the UK, the USA and Australia, it will be supported with a high-profile marketing campaign, including widespread national press advertising.

A wonderful book.
