How Flower Mounders get the Mapsco shaft
Because we have to buy both the Dallas and Fort Worth books of the area's most popular mapguides just to get across town.
Here's what's really screwy. My house is in Fort Worth Mapsco 13D, but just barely. You cannot get onto my small street without coming in from the Dallas Mapsco, page 649W. So if you want to get to my house using a Mapsco, you're going to need a Dallas book to get into the neighborhood, and then a Fort Worth book to find my street. Why can't they cross-over a couple of these pages? I guess they have to draw the line splitting Dallas and Fort Worth somewhere, and I guess it's right through the street where I live.
Yeah, I know you can avoid the whole two-book mess by buying the Denton/Grayson Mapsco, but that's a third book.

There is no Denton/Grayson mapbook. There's a Denton/Cooke and a Collin/Grayson. A user could get the Dallas/ Fort Worth (Metro) Street Guide, which has both mapsets for Dallas and Fort Worth combined.
When I look at FTW13D, I see that area is bordered by map 14 to the East, and map 648 to the north; both of those maps are found easily in the same Fort Worth Street Guide 2009. I don't know if the earlier versions got it mixed up a bit, but the new one has everything you need for that address in one book, retailing at $37.95. I hope that helps.
