----------------------------Original message---------------------------- New edition due in January - Mapping of the World: Early Printed World Maps 1472-1700 by Rodney W. Shirley. $295.00. 720 pages; 20 color pages, rest in black/white. 9-1/4 x 13-1/2" boxed edition. The new edition of this work is due out in January. I have not seen the old edition and I was wondering what people thought of the book - was the earlier edition a quality work? Is this book likely to be worth the price? Thanks for the help.
