----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I'd like to get some bkgd. info. on the Stanford company in England. We have a couple of loose leaf catalogs, comparable to ILH's GEO Katalog, that date from the age of the dinosaurs. (Well ... they haven't been updated probably since the 70s.) Does Stanford still produce these catalogs? I heard that they had even gone out of business, but I have some relatively recent glossy fliers advertising their store in London. I was planning on tossing the catalogs to save valuable shelf space, where every inch counts. But they're packed with index maps of map series all over the world; are these worth keeping? (Sort of for bibliographical reasons, not as a catalog.) Are these index maps likely to be about the same as what's in GEO Katalog or some other source? As a relative newcomer to our map collection, I'm probably too hesitant to over-weed and throw away something that might, just possibly, have some use to someone, someday, maybe. Thanks for your help ... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mark Thomas | Yet there's not a train I Evans Library, Texas A&M University | wouldn't take (409) 862-1052 / FAX (409) 845-6238 | No matter where it's going mthomas@tamrigel / [log in to unmask] | --Edna St. Vincent Millay
