----------------------------Original message---------------------------- It's been a long time since I ordered quad sheets directly from USGS. Can anyone tell me what the current price is, and more importantly, how long delivery usually takes. I've gotten spoiled by ordering local sheets from Illinois State Geological Survey (cheap and fast). Now I want to buy the entire Los Angeles area, and I'm weighing the pros and cons of ordering them from MapLink (immediate delivery, but $6/sheet). Is there a California state agency that sells them near USGS cost? Is there still a USGS Public Inquiry office in LA? :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Dennis McClendon, Chicago CartoGraphics [log in to unmask]
