"Knowledgeable, honest, and fair. You can always deal confidently with Kevin."
"Offers great range of genuine antique and vintage maps at reasonable prices and Kevin is super helpful in ensuring an efficient service - highly recommended"
"Maps are discourse (to paraphrase J.B. Harley), and so any antiquarian or collector aspiring to deal with them in a serious manner need to be both competent and willing to undertake a cognitive effort and engage in curiosity-driven discursive exchanges with other members of the endangered species of knowledgeable map aficionados, the Readers. I was pleased to witness and profit from such competence and eagerness in the Geographicus' team in the seemingly mundane circumstances of acquisition of a couple of Mercator's maps of Eastern Europe. The team's openness to truly novel epistemological challenges presented by the study of the early cartography of the lands of the Rus' and their immediate surroundings (such as, e.g., Livonia) in the context of the XVI-XVIII century confrontation between local political and military hegemons, and their unfeigned curiosity in the subject, laden with topical geopolitical connotations, have won them my respect, which I say as a map collector, a critical Reader of maps and a scholar. Maps are also objects of trade, and it is a very nontrivial thing to be capable of striking a balance between the two worlds: that of mercantile goals and procedures, and that of knowledge and passion, preventing the former from casting a gloomy shadow onto the latter when a punctual collector-antiquarian relation comes to its natural conclusion: the purchase. My experience with Geographicus is highly satisfactory in this respect, too. And that on all levels of relevance: the material one (the artefacts sold to me are in a very good condition, without any `surprise' defects revealed only upon arrival), the economic one (the team displayed a very professional flexibility during the negotiations) and the logistic one (I have never - literally never - had such a smooth and swift shipment of old maps across the Atlantic). Bravo, Kevin. Bravo, James. Keep it as it is!"
"As a geographer writing her family's history, how my heart lept when I found this stunning, highly professional map company with a pre-1900 map of San Francisco published by my great-great grandfather, Albert Little Bancroft. To have this hanging in my home adds fantastic depth to the family stories surrounding the city, his family, and greater admiration from me."
"I ordered maps from them. They were in amazing shape, but whats more important they sent me a page of authentification, speaking about the authenticity of the map, the author the time period etc. very very cool"
