Hi Angie;

Here is some info on the Earth Atlas Platinum edition (the big one) that I received from Gordon Cheers, the publisher of the atlas.  Feel free to post it to Maps-L.  I don't think my submissions are getting through hence I'm sending this to you.

Gordon has agreed to posting this content, photo, and list to Maps-L.

Cheers, and thanks,
Russell Guy

At this point there are no copies of Earth Platinum in the USA ( there are however discussions to try and get a copy or 2 into the USA).

There are however a number of copies of Earth Blue and Earth Gold that we know of ( see attached listing) in USA and elsewhere.
