Indeed, Vol.8 no.2 was the final issue of 'Mercator's World' (from evidence of copies in Library here, at home, and from my indexing articles from it for the 'Imago Mundi Bibliography'); it included the obituary of Gary Turley. And now, onwards and upwards, with the hard copy 'MapForum' (are you 'Forum' or Against'um? [New Year's joke © Francis Herbert Productions]).

None of the cataloging on OCLC is updated to state this, including our own...I have the sneakiest feeling there is a vol. 8, no. 3 out there, but maybe I am confusing the month with the issue number. Anyone have a clear sense of this? Alice C.
