This offer is made to LIBRARIES ONLY:
 
We have a large assortment (I can't begin to estimate how many
sheets, how many pounds!) of old topos of Japan and other Asian
areas IN JAPANESE distributed by AMS to libraries after WW II.
They are not sorted well.  If any library has the staff time
and language expertise to sort, index, and catalog these maps,
is willing to take all of them, and will reimburse us for
shipping costs, please let me know.  I'll be happy to send more
information about areas of coverage if anyone is really interested.
