Ah! I checked my "requesters" list and it was Shelley who requested How the
States got their Shapes.
It's an interesting history--for grown-ups, not for children, though it sounds
like it, doesn't it. It's 352 pages and was just published in May. It doesn't
seem to be on the NY TIMes best-seller list which surprises me a little because
of its popularity in my library.
Ive started to read it. There are numerous gray-and-white maps that probably
won't scan and would be impossible to describe but they just illustrate the
text rather than elaborate on it. Anyone with a puzzle map of the U.S. with
cut-out states like the ones we had as children could feel the boundaries that
are talked about in the first chapter.
This is a book which, even though I might have already read it by the time it
gets submitted and by the time I finish what I'm working on I'd be willing to
validate if no one else wanted to, but I'm sure there are history buffs who
would be more-than-willing. I definitely recommend it
