In-person: I was able to visit Chatham a couple years ago and dropped in on Maps of Antiquity. If you are interested in maps you will be amazed. If you are not interested in maps, you will be before you leave the store. Atmosphere was excellent, we were able to look around without being pushed to buy something (although we did buy several maps), the quality and breadth of the collection was awesome and the staff were knowledgeable and helpful.
On-line: My daughter's birthday was right around the corner and she has become a map enthusiast. The first place I thought of was Maps of Antiquity. Since it is a good 2+ hours away without traffic I researched on-line and found the maps that she would be interested in (of Iceland). I selected the items and, before hitting confirm, contacted the team to ask about shipping options. They called me back immediately and ensured the maps were delivered on-time (they were). The maps (and one sketch of an Iceland gull) are of very high quality, better than I expected. I reached back to ask about framing options to protect the maps (if we decide to get them framed). Again, I was contacted immediately and a lengthy explanation of the options (from expensive to not so expensive) was provided. I absolutely will not hesitate to purchase items on-line from Maps of Antiquity in the future.
Bottom line - visit Maps of Antiquity in person if you can. If not, peruse their website and, if you don't see something you are looking for or just have questions, give them a call and I'm sure you will happy with the response.
