HarperCollinsIllustrated today announced the agreement of a two year publishing licence with getmapping.com brokered by Simon Trewin at Peters, Fraser and Dunlop.
This will see HarperCollinsIllustrated publishing up to 20 titles using getmapping.com photography over the next two years, starting this November with London.This ground-breaking book is based on the first ever complete, seamless photographic map of Britain. Offering a level of detail hitherto restricted to military intelligence, London will offer a fascinating survey of both public and private worlds.
It is so revealing, so pin-sharp, that it has excited the attentions of both defence experts and civil rights activists alike, with claims that it compromises both national security and personal privacy. In November, you’ll be able to judge for yourself.
Commenting on the deal, Tristram Cary, Managing Director of getmapping.com, said: “We are delighted HarperCollins Publishers will be publishing the getmapping.com titles. The complete map will provide a snapshot of life in the year 2000 as historically important as William the Conqueror’s Domesday Book of 1086.”
Polly Powell, Publishing Director of HarperCollinsIllustrated, said: “No-one can resist poring over these extraordinary images - they appeal to one’s curiosity in the most addictive way.”
