Richard,
This is mighty coincidental timing of you making this posting, tonight, I just finished scanning the front covers of all my map Indexes and typing a list of all of them that I have w/ comments.
I'll have to come back to this and compare your 2nd list to what all I just did and see if I am wanting to discuss anything (right now I am brain-fried though, ha-ha). Good wishes on your "hunting" and trading efforts,
- Scott S.
Richard,
I sent you an email (really 2) regarding purchasing some of your "for sale" indices. I used an email over 3 1/2 years old. It was from when I purchase some Article Reprints from you. If you didn't receive them, please let me know. The ones I ordered, mostly more recent ones, would really flesh out my collection.
Yours in collecting,
Tom Wilson
The following National Geographic map indexes are no longer available:
Hi Richard,
I have most of the maps you are looking for. Most exactly, I have the map titles of 1918, 1921, 1939, 1940 (but that one is not an excellent copy), 1950 (Classical Lands of the Mediterranean; South America), 1953 (Mexico and Central America; Historical Map of the United States), 1954, 1965, 1981, 1993 (if it is the one ''Water/United States''), 1994 and 2004 (World/Earth at night). I would be interested to sale. Let me know if you are still looking for these titles.
Best regards,
Gen Thibault
P.S. I couldn't find the 1990 map entitled ''The United States'' in the maps list compilation. Could it be from an other year?
Hi Gen,
I am looking for the indexes to these maps and not the maps themselves.
