I admit I hadn't thought along those lines.
To be honest though, the maps in most books certainly don't do it for me, and as I am still very early in the process, what I need most - I believe - is something I can print out in all it's glory, frame, and hang above my computer. For inspiration.

Add to that, that gaming is the first goal on the journey, and that, despite my own assuredness to the contrary, I might never publish anything in the end, and I feel antique is still the best option for me. Of course, if the artist would like to do both, I am certain I could find the monetary needs to pay for it too.

Cheers,
Thorsten
