Using the current (2001-2002) edition of the 'IMTA [ = International Map
Trade Association]Members Directory' I can suggest you contact the only
British dealer listed who (allegedly) includes raised relief maps as one of
their business categories - Encompass Graphics Ltd of Brighton, East Sussex
<http://www.encompass-graphics.co.uk>. In that producers and/or dealers in
the USA and elsewhere (e.g. especially in Australia and Canada) might well
have raised relief maps of the UK I wonder if you have tried any IMTA
dealers in USA, such as Highway Maps Inc of South Charleston, West Virginia
[fax: 304-768-5557; tel.: 304-768-0441]? The IMTA 'Members Directory' also
lists raised relief maps are available from The Maps Place (AL); Global Map
Store, MAP Center, and The Map Store (CA); Hubbard Scientific (COL); A Map
Solution Inc (FL); Commercial Survey Co Inc (OH); and Zdansky Map Store
(TX). Obviously, by citing these firms' details, I am neither guaranteeing
their present existence or contact details nor endorsing their products!
For further information (including e-mail addresses) I suggest you look at
IMTA's website <http://www.maptrade.org> where one may search by country and
product category.
Sincerely
(Mr) Francis Herbert (Curator of Maps, RGS-IBG; IMTA Member)

Can anyone help Bonnie?
------- Forwarded message follows -------
I am looking for assistance in locating a raised relief map of the
United Kingdom. I have been in contact with Falcon Mapping, and
they suggested that your organization might be of some help. I wish
to give this as a present to someone who spent some time there over
this past summer.
Please forward any possibilities (names and email addresses) to me
at [log in to unmask]
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
