Dear map Librarians,
Greetings from Millennium House, publisher of EARTH the world's most
exquisite limited edition atlas ever to be produced.
Over 100 Cartographers, Geographers, Oceanographers, historians and
scholars (bio's attached) from around the world worked in tandem to
produce this epic tome and the combined time investment equates to 62
man years! Each 20kg EARTH copy - made to order- is hand bound and hand
numbered with a coinciding, numbered and signed Certificate of
Authenticity and is housed in a matching leather bound, silk lined
preservation case weighing 15kg. The pages of the Royal Blue edition are
gilded in silver leaf and bound in a luxurious Royal Blue leather. The
lining of the preservation case is a beautiful silver silk. This limited
edition consists of 2000 copies only taking the equivalent of 62 man
years to create and the printing plates of the entire collection will be
destroyed following printing.
The latest purchaser is Princeton University who have recently taken
possession of copy, No 378. Attached is a list (Where on earth is EARTH)
of the public sites EARTH is throughout the world. Each copy of EARTH is
RRP, USD $5800.00. As a tribute and gesture to the Universities and
Mapping departments, Millennium House is extending a special price of
$4900.00 which includes air delivery directly and on costs from our
printer in Hong Kong for orders received by October 15 2010.
"/Books such as these, especially limited edition volumes of reference
material, are time capsules of the state of things at that time in our
history. An indelible record.
To this end their preservation is important. EARTH will one day be
looked upon and judged by future generations. What we have gotten
correct, what we did not, how things have changed.
To have such a volume in the State Library of South Australia is an
expectation, a non-negotiable. Premium volumes of quality information
require premium venues for their care and use.// The EARTH and State
Library of South Australia match the criteria on both counts."
State Library of South Australia

Our legacy can now be in your library serving as a time capsule of the
world as it is today and a tribute to cartography, geography and
oceanography. We welcome your enquiries and wish you a G'day. Enjoy the
EARTH journey.
