BOOK DISCOVERY
Istanbul Travel Map
First published 2000
Globetrotter’s Istanbul Travel Map, published in 2000, is defined by its title as a cartographic resource for Istanbul. The supplied metadata contains no further subject terms, so the book’s identity rests on the relationship between destination and map format. Unlike a narrative guide, a travel map organizes the city spatially, supporting orientation and movement through visual representation. Its purpose is best understood as helping travelers locate, connect, and plan within Istanbul rather than providing a specialized account of the city’s history or culture.
