Dear Helen Jane
I had the similar inquiry from a subscriber to MapHist; who then admitted he
hadn't scrolled down further to the Sitescope page and its/their contact
(website and email for ordering information) details. Please assure me that
you (i.e. Maps-L subscribers) have them! And my personal belated
congratulations to you, HJ, on your award some months ago.
