----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Greetings, Can someone provide me ordering information regarding the new 1:1,000,000 topographic maps of China that are being published in China. A patron would like to order a set and would also like to know the total # of sheets and areas now available. Also, I just received the catalog "Defense Mapping Agency - public sales topographic maps and publications, Sept. 1993, 1st ed.", by the USGS. I don't see the DMA series 1301 (International Map of the World [IMW]) listed in this catalog. We have in our collection a few of these sheets covering parts of China that were done in the late 1970's, and I realize that the IMW series is in a sort of limbo, but can anybody verify this and whether sheets of this series for China can still be purchased? If still buyable, from who? I've ordered a few IMW sheets in years past of various places in the world from GeoCenter, Stuttgart, but am looking for another source that may be closer and more speedy. The patron knows about ONC's, TPC's, and DCW, but any other help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!
