----------------------------Original message---------------------------- **************************************************************** This notice is being submitted to lismaps, MapHist and Maps-L. It is hoped that its overtly commercial message can be excused. It is assumed that the national and international library communities would wish to be made aware of a significant reduction in price. There is no other realistic way of broadcasting this information in the time available. ***************************************************************** THE BRITISH LIBRARY MAP CATALOGUE ON CD-ROM Primary Source Media would like to clarify the current price of the forthcoming British Library Map Catalogue on CD-ROM, and to announce that for a limited period this title will be available at a new lower price. Previously advertised at 1,270 pounds, the CD-ROM will be available at a pre-publication price of 900 pounds until 31 December 1996. From 1 January 1997, the list price will be 1,495 pounds.
