    Can anyone recommend a place to buy a really nice World/Asia Map??

    I'm looking for a framed detailed World/Asia Map. Something nice enough to hang in an office or living room wall. Can anyone recommend a place for something like this? Perhaps a specialty frame shop??

    Thank you in advance for any leads

    For Antique maps try Picture This:

    Otherwise for a modern map, you can purchase one at Dymocks, etc, and just get is framed separately....You could probably save some $$ buy purchasing it from ShopinHK.com:

    Go to the PCL map collection
    http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/
    then take the image to a really good printer and then a really good framer
    I had a splendid 3x5 foot map done for under $800

    On the topic of maps, does anyone know where to get Michelin road maps in HK - especially interested in UK and France.
    thanks

    Maps sold in China have China near the center, with NA on the right and Africa on the left.

    Are ones sold in HK made according to international standard, or like China?

    This has to be the coolest asiacentric map around

    Pity it costs a pretty penny, 3500 to be precise for the cheapest type
