* Geonetters, Mapsfolk:
*
* I have just received a copy of Geological Atlas of Japan second edition,
* for which I prepaid $568.56. It is a rolled up paperback of some 18
* leaves, which seems to total $31.59 per leaf. Has anybody else purchased/
* ordered this? I would highly recommend that you NOT. I will be happy
* to lend it on interlibrary loan. I am SO furious. If anybody else HAS
* received it, did you get the same thing I got? Or did I get some subset
* of a larger hardbound title? I await in fury and with baited breath some
* reply.

Hello Jim,
I purchased something that might be similar, but definitely a whole lots
cheaper: 1:1,000,000 Geological Map of Japan - Geological Atlas of Japan
(1982) - Second Printing (Copy), Geological Survey of Japan, 1987.
That information is taken from the looseleaf gray-color cover. The item
consists of 7 sheets for the map, and 3 sheets for the index/title page.
Sheet size is 42x61cm and I paid $65.00 for it. I hope that you received
only partial order of something bigger and better, although I am not aware of
any large geological atlas of Japan. By the way, _World Mapping Today_ and
also Geokatalog (thankfully the Japan section is now in english) do not list
any large geological atlases other than the one I have.
