Dear mapsters,
I have just learned that one can order maps from NYPL's digital gallery
placed on mugs, and cards. Pre-matted and framed maps are available, but I
knew that, and posted that ages ago. While we might have neat stuff, it
does make me wonder what other libraries, museums have similar offerings
which might be of interest to mapnerds and cartophiliacs around the world.
I am thinking of nonprofit library and museum products, just to limit my
enquiry and your responses!!
I am going to do a little bit of investigating some more NYC museum sites,
and will post info if and when I come up with more good stuff, map-wise.

Above is the url for these items from NYPL. Type in your hometown or home

typed in Manhattan, and got a lot of NYC, natch, but also Manhattan,
Kansas! Who knew?
