     Just to let you all know, the 1999 NYPL calendar is out, "The Art of
     Cartography," featuring 4 maps from the Lawrence H. Slaughter
     collection, 2 from the Special Collections dept., and 6 more from the
     Map Division, including two from our huge Samuel Thornton Sea Atlas,
     including a color version of the Halley magnetic declination map.
 
     Look for it in your favorite major bookstore, or even your local
     mapstore. It is not yet in the Library shop, here at 5th and 42, but
     should be within the next week or so.
 
     Hopefully there are no grievous errors on it, based on "incorrect,"
     yes, incorrect! turn of the century cataloging. [The double hemisphere
     world map, dated c.1730, has Botany Bay on it...ouch!]

 Oop, just realized the last sentence doesn't make sense, as I got
     interrupted before I finished the message.
 
     This year's calendar, 1998, features a world map, ca. 1730 with
     information from Cook's tours...Cook was there in 1770, not before.
