----------------------------Original message---------------------------- This offer is made to LIBRARIES ONLY: We have a large assortment (I can't begin to estimate how many sheets, how many pounds!) of old topos of Japan and other Asian areas IN JAPANESE distributed by AMS to libraries after WW II. They are not sorted well. If any library has the staff time and language expertise to sort, index, and catalog these maps, is willing to take all of them, and will reimburse us for shipping costs, please let me know. I'll be happy to send more information about areas of coverage if anyone is really interested. Jane Carlson Map Collection Assistant University of Iowa [log in to unmask]
