----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- (My apology to those CARTA subscribers who have already seen this) If you don't already know about this book, good. If you do know about it, sorry for the duplication. We just received our copy of Kenneth Kershaw's new book entitled "Early Maps of Canada, 1540-1703". I'm certainly no expert on old maps but I think that it is a "must" for Canadian map libraries/archives. There is not anything similar for only Canada that I know of. It is limited to 1000 copies, 8.5" x 11" format, clothbound, 320 pages, 220 b/w plates, $140 Cdn and $106 US including shipping. ISBN 0-9697184-0-3. I'm not plugging this for any personal gain - just professional information for colleagues. The book can be ordered at: Kershaw Old Maps and Prints 442 Wilson St. E. Ancaster, Ont. L9G 2C3 phone: 905-648-1991 fax: 905-304-1037 Cheryl Woods Univ. of Western Ontario Lets get the ordering information out for any new books we are aware of (particularly from obscure sources) but lets wait to see the book and for the reviews before we make judgments about the book.
