Thanks to everyone for the kind words! This is the map I've poured the most time and effort into, so it's naturally quite nice to hear it being appreciated. For a while there it was feeling like it would never be done, and was driving me a little crazy.
@Kelleri - The logo and the compass rose were built by me in Adobe Illustrator. I was exercising my graphic design skills there, slicing and combining vector shapes and then draping carefully-tweaked layer styles onto them in Photoshop. The border was built pixel-by pixel and then laid in and repeated. I don't have a link for the KickStarter of the book yet, but as soon as it launches I'll post that in this thread.
Here are a couple of zoom-ups of parts of the map at 100% resolution, showing what the final detail level is like. I may have gone a little overboard with the resolution. ;-)
