Dear all,
I am sad to report that a number of atlases were stolen from one of our
customers' Mayfair office last Thursday evening. A list follows below.
Also taken were several dozen antique sheet maps, all folio size or
larger; most depicting part or all of Greece or the Mediterranean. A
list of these will be available shortly.
Please would all members be particularly vigilant and report any
suspicious individuals offering atlases to the police.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Daniel Crouch
