----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I have been asked to speak to a local group of book collectors and dealers who are interested in forming a map specialty committee. Any thoughts about how such a map interest group should be formed, what they would do, and how they could help the local map libraries would be appreciated. My talk is tomorrow night (Wednesday, Dec 1st), but our need for your advice will continue as we create the map group. Thanks.
