This is a map I worked on last year for a book that's finally coming out in December! The book is called Hands of the Rain Forest: The Emberá People of Panama, by Rachel Crandell. It was great fun to research colors and patterns for the border on this one.
I'm a big fan of books with maps. As a reader I find it helpful to have a picture in my head of the story's location, whether it's for a non-fiction book like this one, or a novel with an invented setting. (Just my two pence!)

Christine-- yes, that took some doing to not post it. And Jannie-- funny, I find working on maps very relaxing. It's kind of zen-like I guess... I like to think about the different places. Or maybe I'm just a geography dork. ;-D
Thanks, Ali! (I think we just crossed paths in cyberspace!)
