This volume complements the best-seller and award-winning General Maps of Persia , praised by Dr. John Hébert, Chief of the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress: "This carefully researched work is a must have item in any collection of research materials on the history of cartography... I cannot wait for the arrival of subsequent volumes of further great scholarship and readable map reproductions on other detailed aspects of the history of mapping of Persia."
Encouraged by numerous commending reviews in five languages - English, French, German, Persian and Armenian - and gratifying testimonials from many renowned authorities in the fields of 'History of Cartography' and 'Iranian Studies', Cyrus Alai continued his research and collected further material to produce the present volume: Special Maps of Persia, 1477-1925 , covering every map of that region, other than general maps. Thus, it not only complements the General Maps of Persia , it is also a completely new volume in its own right and, providing an even closer insight into the region.
The book is divided into nine chapters: Historical Maps, District Maps, Frontier Maps, Town Maps, Political Maps etc. Like the preceding volume, it has a dual character, being both a carto-bibliography and a mapping history of Persia. It contains 761 map-entries, of which 409 are illustrated, mostly in colour. Concise related historical accounts precede every chapter and section, and essential historical notes are also supplied within many of the map entries.
Undoubtedly, this book is a treasure house not just for cartographers, but also historians, social historians, linguists and archaeologists.

"[...] a scholarly tour de force whose formal nature masks a more personal quality[...]. For those who know and love Iran, the work achieves a surprising degree of what, for want of a more precise term, must be called intimacy. To see quarters or maidans or avenues or bridges that one has known, walked, even inhabited, is a powerful thing. This may give the book an appeal beyond the strictly scholarly, perhaps among the several million persons in the Iranian diaspora around the world." Bert Johnson, THE PORTOLAN, Journal of the Washington Map Society , issue 80, Spring 2011.
"The care and effort used for identifying these maps, and the related historical, geographical, linguistic and, when applicable, archaeological information, contained in the two volumes, have made them a necessary tool for any historical, geographical and some other scientific, research works in the field of Iranian Studies. [...] Producing and publishing of these volumes have been a unique and major scientific event which can hardly be described in words. One should see them to appreciate their high value and importance."
