Dear all

I'm attaching a Word document listing various suppliers of Russian maps
- not all of which we have used! If you can't read the attachment I'll
send you a paper copy. I've also copied the list into this email message
- however, the formatting has been lost so it does not look very pretty!
I would be interested to learn of any additional suppliers.

Both Stanfords (200k only?) and Eastnor can supply individual sheets but
there may be others.

We have more or less complete coverage of China at 1:200,000 and are in
the process of acquiring 1:100,000 coverage. Let me know if I can help.

Best wishes
Anne

WHERE TO PURCHASE SOVIET MILITARY MAPPING

The following is a list of those suppliers known to Cambridge University

company or that we recommend them. The telephone numbers are for

also only be prepared to sell a whole country.
