I have a quick question/concern about the books that I was hoping someone could address. Why do none of the continent, city or country level maps in the book have a scale listed? Without knowing the scale it is impossible to determine distance between two points or travel times or relative sizes of land masses, or really any of a myriad of things that you would want to use maps for. I thought at first that this must be some sort of strange Warcraft-inspired vagueness, but noticed that my Ravenloft book also suffers from the same problem. Without knowing the scale, a map is good for nothing but a vague idea of where countries are in relation to each other. This is extremely frustrating as obviously your cartographers spent a great deal of time making attractive maps, yet I find them nearly useless for anything except filler art. For example, the Dwarven city of Ironforge is a "enormous underground city." But does that mean it is a mile across, 10 miles across, 100 miles across? If I wanted to travel from there to the next town, would it take me a week, two weeks, a month? It is impossible to tell without a scale. I am not suggesting you place a grid on the maps, as that would detract from the artistic look. But a legend showing the appropriate scale is really necesary to make them useful.Thanks in advance, John</blockquote>
