Hray!

People are coincidental and should not be construed.

If I ruled the world, or at least a publishing company, all books would contain as much supplementary information as possible. Nonfiction, fiction—doesn’t matter. Every work would have an appendix filled with diagrams, background information, digressions and anecdata. And of course, maps. Lots and lots of maps.

At the Awl, Victoria Johnson writes about some of the maps you stared at as a child. Very cool.

(Totally agree with the statement above by the way. I always loved the ancillary charts, graphs, maps, calendars, glossaries, and so on, even better than the main part of the book.)
