One More Thing on the Map Book

21 02 2009

Ted Savas tells me he is considering publishing softcover versions of the Atlas books – in addition to hardcovers – that will be spiral bound with coated pages.  The book would come with a grease pencil that you could use to take notes on the map pages (say, in the field).  The pages could be wiped clean later.  Due to restrictions of the larger bookstores and Amazon on spiral bound volumes, this edition would be available only through Savas Beatie or the NPS bookstores.  “Bundling”  with the hardcover (that is, selling them both as a package) is also a possibility

That sounds pretty cool to me: what do you think?

Also, a tour guide was cut out from the Maps of First Bull Run, but will be made available on line.  I don’t know if such is the intention for any other books in the series.
