Book excerpt: The A-Z Adventure series features the accuracy and quality of OS 1:25000 maps in a convenient book, complete with index.An innovative concept, the A-Z Adventure series utilises Ordnance Survey 1:25000 mapping in a book, therefore eliminating the need to fold and re-fold a large sheet map to the desired area.

Each index entry has a page reference and a six figure National Grid Reference. At a book size of 240mm x 134mm it is the same size as the standard folded OS map.The Isle of Wight is one of southern England's premier holiday destinations.
