The ''A–Z'' (pronounced "A to Zed"), or in full the ''Geographers' A–Z Street Atlas'', is a name given to any one of a range of atlases of streets in the United Kingdom currently produced by Geographers' A–Z Map Company Limited. Its first atlas, of London, was originally compiled in the 1930s by Phyllis Pearsall. The company she founded now publishes street maps of many cities and towns in the UK. ==Dating old maps== Until quite recently, the maps produced by the Geographers' (A–Z) Map Company did not list their publication date, so dating them can be quite hard. A few things that can help are: * Their first map was published in 1936 * The only maps produced by them during WW2 (1939–1945) were war maps of Europe * Until 1962, the "Published By" address was ''24 Grays Inn Road, Holborn, London'' * From 1962 to 1992, the "Published By" address was ''Sevenoaks, Kent'' * From 1992 onwards, the "Published By" address is ''Borough Green, Kent'' * In 1972, the company name was changed from ''Geographers' Map Company'' to ''Geographers' A–Z Map Company'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Geographers' A–Z Street Atlas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
