As veterans, military historians, and history buffs we, at the Aberjona
Press, know that plenty of accurate, detailed maps are crucial to making
military history make sense to readers. That's why we add so many high quality
maps to all of our books. However, even when a book contains numerous,
well-rendered maps, it can still be awkward for readers to be forced to flip
back and forth between the pages they're reading and the pages on which the
maps appear.
As a service to its readers, The Aberjona Press has posted the maps for its
books. These can be downloaded to create a separate map folio, or viewed on screen as you read the book.
In the future, we will be offering low-cost compact disks with high-resolution
images of each map as after-market or companion products for those who have
limited or expensive access to the Internet, experience excessive download
time, or simply desire very high resolution.
