----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Our (general purpose) university library has money to update their atlas collection. I have been invited to advise our library on good titles to go for. We have the latest Times World, and they all have to be traditional hard copy - digital ones are out, at least for the moment. The intention is to have a good general-purpose reference collection, but there is also possibly scope for atlases that are selected as particularly good (or even particularly BAD, if they demonstrate this well!) examples of the cartographers' and the atlas editors' craft. Similarly, while most should be World or European in focus (and they can be mono-thematic or general), there could also be room for one or two national atlases for other countries, if they demonstrated especially good examples of thematic cartographic styles... The budget is not enormous, but at the same time should be enough for, say, a half-dozen or so titles, perhaps as many as 10 if they are not too extravigantly-priced. Any suggestions or recommendations, folks?
