Ummmm, we just received a flier for a $795.00 "Industrial atlas of the
Soviet Successor States." Has 82 "detailed" topical maps of the CIS on
11 x 17" pages, how detailed can this be...?
Publisher is Industrial Information Resources Inc, Houston TX
Anybody have any knowledge of this firm, and quality of their
publications?
The format is sort of a "national atlas" look. The maps have a nice
"CIA type" base with schematic/thematic maps over the base. The
examples in the flier seem confusing and unclear to me.
I would like to hear from other maps-l folk on your opinions...
At this point, I am doubtful about our purchasing this. Despite the
cute sticker promising a $100 discount.
What do you think folks?
