I read all the reviews of the various Modern Maps volumes (plus the re-issue of volume 1 known as "Blueprints") and I thought maybe everyone was wanting something in particular, such as maps to use with minatures or some such. I figured since I was going to use the maps to help write a story maybe it would be okay. Well, its not. I can't say much about this product that is good. I should have listened to other people.
The best I have to offer is "its cheap." But the cheapness REALLY shines through. Kinda makes me want to go about town touring office buildings so I can create my own set of maps (to scale), PDF'em, and sale them on here for $6.
The time it would have taken me to step outside and make some judgment calls about what the inside of that restaurant looked like THE LAST TIME I WAS IN THERE would have been a better use of my time than actually reading the reviews and deciding to give the guys a break. But then again, there was no free sample... maybe there was no free sample because they knew if you saw EVEN THEIR BEST map, you wouldn't buy.
Avoid like the plague!
Go hangout in other people's house, stores, banks, etc. etc. make mental notes, but don't look like you are casing the joint, and then when you get home pencil it in on graph paper. Better investment.
