Ă˜one games is one of the companies that have really taken to the PDF technology, and give you something that actually has functionality that would be impossible or next to impossible in a print product. This product uses PDF layers to let you choose square, hex, or no grid, as well as whether or not to print things like room numbers and furniture. You can even turn off the wall fill to save ink. The map has simple and clean line art - the Abbey overview map would not look out of place on the inside of a TSR module cover.
The Abbey is a large-scale product (not a battlemap), consisting of 7 letter-sized maps showing a walled medieval abbey complex high in the mountains. The walls enclose a dozen buildings of the sorts you would expect to find in such a place: cloister, chapel, church, refectory, bell tower, etc. This particular abbey is also prepared for pilgrims, with its smithy and stables; for scholars with its large library; and can act as a hospital with a sizable infirmary in times of plague or war. The layout is definitely reminiscent of actual medieval monasteries, so should you have need of such a building in your game, this is a simple and inexpensive way to map it. The only thing missing that I can see is a scale for the map: from the sizes of furniture I would guess that it's 1 square = 5 feet.
