Astute readers of the "History of Cartography" newsletter may already
know this but the HofC Project has now made volumes 1 and 2 (books 1-3)
freely accessible as .pdfs online via
http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/HOC/index.html

Volume One:

Cartography in Prehistoric, Ancient, and Medieval Europe and the
Mediterranean

Volume Two:

Book 1: Cartography in the Traditional Islamic and South Asian Societies

Book 2: Cartography in the Traditional East and Southeast Asian Societies

Book 3: Cartography in the Traditional African, American, Arctic,
Australian, and Pacific Societies

These are excellent reference sources that any serious students of the
history of cartography, cartography, or history should be aware of.
