The problem we have is finding someone to coordinate using the maps.  Right
now we have 25 to 100 copies of 4 or 5 titles that have been superceded -
Brazil political map, Italy K+F travel map, Middle East map, etc., but
finding the one person in a school district is not always easy.  If there is
someone who is plugged into a school district that can use this type of
thing, let me know.  Nothing promised, but hate to trash perfectly usable
maps because they say 1996 instead of 1997 or 1998.
