Hello Everyone, I can report that the Heritage Collection at the Qatar National Library has the Earth Atlas Platinum on display. I was just looking at it. It is impressively huge. I wouldn't want to try and turn one of the pages by myself. We also have the Gold and Blue editions.

Feel free to post it to Maps-L. I don't think my submissions are getting through hence I'm sending this to you. Gordon has agreed to posting this content, photo, and list to Maps-L. Cheers, and thanks, Russell Guy At this point there are no copies of Earth Platinum in the USA ( there are however discussions to try and get a copy or 2 into the USA). There are however a number of copies of Earth Blue and Earth Gold that we know of ( see attached listing) in USA and elsewhere.
