Subject: Army Map Service giveaways
Sender: Mark Thomas <[log in to unmask]>
We have some duplicate Army Map Service maps, listed below, to
give away to North American libraries.
We'll send an entire series (but no individual sheets, please).
Just indicate which series you need.
We'll ask for reimburment of postage costs.
These mostly date from the mid-1940s. Many are reprints of
British military GSGS map series, many of which in turn are
reprints of earlier locally produced maps. Most of the sets
listed below are fairly complete, but may lack some sheets shown
on the indexes (sheets which may or may not have ever been
distributed to libraries). Indexes are NOT included (contact me
off-list if you get the set and need a copy of index).
We'll have more dupes to give away in the near future.
