Dear Ken
Many thanks for your help in passing on details of the maps we have for
disposal, there have been several offers to rehouse some of our
collection for which I'm grateful. During my sorting process I've come
across some more maps and wonder if you could help to spread the word
again. These are:
Bahamas 1:25,000, East Malaysia Sabah & Sarawak 1:50,000, Yemen Arab
Republic 1:250,000,
again dates 1960's - 1970's.
We also have a collection of quite large old rolled wall maps, some
going back to the early part of the 20th century which cover various
parts of the world, I have a comprehensive list of these which I can
supply if anyone is interested.
Best wishes
John
