Topics in Historical Typography
I was googling a while back and indulging in searches in historical uses of cartography came across the concept of historical typography.. old place names
Modern meanings of historical terms and political correctness have changed the official name of places all over the world this is a book I found on amazon, and though thrown off a little from the title, was enamored by the contents.

Unfortunately this is based in America, but then I came across the following publication and am wondering if they are sewn from the same cloth?? could be a good find!
Its called "A Visitor’s Guide to Dubious, Dodgy & Dangerous Destinations, South Island, New Zealand"
You can find it at the bottom of this link:

I'd love to add these two books to my collection
