----------------------------Original message---------------------------- While in the Caribbean in February, I noticed a nice map of the world's islands hanging in a bar. I took down the address of the publisher and sent off a query upon returning. Reply arrived today. ISLANDS OF THE WORLD is supposedly still available from Cartographie Caraibe (La Treille, 97112 Grand Bourg, Marie Gallante, Guadeloupe, Grench West Indies) for US$29 and an additional charge of US$10 for shipping no matter how many maps are sent. The publisher requests cash sent in an envelope as the bank fees for US checks are very high. Additional maps available are ANTILLES/WEST INDIES (Puerto Rico to Grenada) US$15; CARIBBEAN US$15; PACIFIC US$15; and INDIAN OCEAN US$15. Except for the Indian Ocean which is folded only, all maps are supposed to be available both folded and "in poster" formats. Now if some North American map dealer could get these in quantity, we would pay more but it would be worth it for the convenience of not having to send money in the mails. One does after all, pay for convenience. J. B. Post
