Just received the 2007 book “Mapping a Continent” in the department
today, and two of the pages are mis-printed. Pages 218 & 219 are a
two-page detail spread on the following map:
*Bowles's new and accurate map of North America and the West Indies,
exhibiting the extent and boundaries of the United States, the British
dominions, and territories possessed in that quarter by the Spaniards,
the French, and other European powers. The whole compiled and laid down
from the best authorities, regulated and divided according to the
Preliminary Articles of Peace signed at Versailles 20th. Jany. 1783.*
Found on the American Memory pages at

OK, those pages in my copy show a double-image of the map, sort of like
a three-D image without the glasses.
I am interested in whether my copy is the exception, or whether the
whole printing is bad.
Would other owners of this book please let me know if your pages 218 and
219 are also double-printed/blurry. Send me info. offline, and if there
is interest I can let the list know.
Thank you.
