You're welcome, Jim

I need a break from drawing trees every once in a while, or my brain goes a bit leafy!

Ok, I've done it.  The link wall is complete - for now

If you hover your mouse over each thumbnail you should now see the name of the issue displayed, which should make it easier for people checking that they are looking at the annual with the issue in it they just heard about in another thread or elsewhere.

Just for the record, I don't have a favourite annual.  I love all of them

Thank you Sue and Remy for your input.

On Shessars world map there is a scale - I will adapt it in some way in my map. I like the scale on your world Jerion - @Loopysue - maybe I can use that one? Or will my map then look to much like a copy of yours?

What do you think - should the map also contain the names of the continents and should major drifts be named?

For the latter, however, I have to admit that I lack the creativity for creating fantasy names...?

Use away, André.  That's what the stuff in the annuals is for

You've done a really great job with this map

Does any world map need a scale?  I sometimes draw one, but I often wonder why, since the scale can only be accurate at the equator on an Equirectangular projection - which I am usually careful to point out by calling it the Equatorial scale.  As for the rest of it - I'm totally all at sea!  I only know what I learned from Geoff's Climate Cookbook.  I'm more of a geologist and biologist.

I often get asked what each of the Cartographer's Annual contains, or which of them has a good style for a particular job, so I thought I would collect them all here with linked images to each issue as a quick reference guide.
