Geography Rank 1, 2, 3
Up to Geography rank 3 you can easily grind just by reading books at the archive.
The best / sweet spot is Genoa archives. Sail to Calvi to port / mind reset.
If you are ubber rich you may use headache medicine, but that's hardly worth more than a quick port hop. Especially if you are a beginner / poor player.

Geography Rank 4 and beyond
From here on you may want to do quests and maps, though archive reading still gives proficiency.
My tip is go to a major european town to read their archives (Geography). Usually 2 to 3 reading should be enough to get all of their maps. Get a quest on geography also.
Then move to the next major european until you are full of maps (Binder included). Remember to complete the steps of the quests that are on your way.
Now plan / organize your maps route per regions. Choose your region based on your next quest step.
Do (Discover) all of your maps of the choosen region and move to the next (Based on the next quest step).
Complete all of your maps and take new quests along the way as you finish them.
Word of advice: Don't mix other appraisal skills (reading / grinding) if you do not have a job which has them as favored. It will take valuable space of your inventory! Don't be afraid of dropping / discarding maps as you get them back from the same archive.
If you are out of maps and still need some ranks, you may report your discoveries to a famous person. When you do, the maps (of that discovery) will be available in the same place and you can make those discoveries again.
