This notice is being submitted to lismaps, MapHist and Maps-L.
It is hoped that its overtly commercial message can be excused.
It is assumed that the national and international library
communities would wish to be made aware of a significant
reduction in price.  There is no other realistic way of
broadcasting this information in the time available.
