Chris,

The older (1983) edition is listed in GEOKatalog 2, produced by ILH .
The catalog section for South America is dated 2002, and notes that the
second edition is being prepared. (The catalog is a loose-leaf service,
updated irregularly. It's not online.)

Here's the GeoKatalog web site, http://www.geokatalog.de/intgeo2.htm
which points out that customers in the United States may also order through:
East View Cartographic
Fax: 763-559-2931
Phone: 763-550-0961

Good luck! See you at WAML in March -
Cynthia
