Alice,
 
          do us all a favor, ask for a review copy and e-mail 25 words
          on it to Maps-L. I was handed something similar last week,
          done by Rand McNally maybe; price was more reasonable but
          still plenty scary. is there a pattern here? LC

     Ummmm, we just received a flier for a $795.00 "Industrial atlas of the
     Soviet Successor States." Has 82 "detailed" topical maps of the CIS on
     11 x 17" pages, how detailed can this be...?
 
     Publisher is Industrial Information Resources Inc, Houston TX
 
 
     Anybody have any knowledge of this firm, and quality of their
     publications?
 
     The format is sort of a "national atlas" look.  The maps have a nice
     "CIA type" base with schematic/thematic maps over the base. The
     examples in the flier seem confusing and unclear to me.
 
     I would like to hear from other maps-l folk on your opinions...
 
     At this point, I am doubtful about our purchasing this. Despite the
     cute sticker promising a $100 discount.
 
     What do you think folks?
