Quantities are limited and the USGS may obtain the digital files of the map from NIMA for future printing. (This could result in a price change). I examined a copy of this map yesterday and it is quite interesting; the map includes insets, something rare on a NIMA map. Stock number is #114341. The map includes portions of the surrounding countries of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel and Turkey.
