Is there any love here for the A-Z adventure atlases?
They are normal OS maps, but in book form instead of large sheets of paper that are difficult to fold. I have a small collection of them for some on the national trails I will one day visit, and also Snowden.

Yes - I've got one for the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path - the Aurum Press guide only goes as far as the old end of the NCP at Cromer. Now, with the advent of the England Coast Path, pretty much the whole of the coastline is now National Trail.

I often spend some time updating openstreetmap, particularly adding new paths, benches ect.. as I discovered them while out running.
This is a route I ran about a month ago, on the left is how the map looked at the time, on the right is how it looks now after I've spent a couple of days running up and down each path to add them to OSM.

Nice work! Someone has done the same job for the park next to work. My big contribution there was changing a path marked bikes only to show that foot access is allowed, so run routing works properly now.

Making maps (or correcting them) is fun with OSM. I did find it took some time to filter through to the Fetch version though.

[Oops, now I feel foolish, they are not lakes but a ball court and some kind of skate park]

I'd naively never realised that Open Street Map meant just that - Open to editing.

Some nice Map gifts out there - I have a London map of trees - its actually called Great Trees of London Map published by Blue Crow Media. I think there is a range as I have also seen a Brutalist architecture one.
