Following the original listing posted on 11 July here is an amended version (for those who were on leave before, or who have not had time to check their holdings), that includes an additional atlas. Note that one copy of the 'National atlas of Hungary' is still available

The atlases listed below are duplicate to our requirements; they come from a British cartographic publishing house and are, with its permission, made available free to other map collections. Naturally, we would - in our current situation of Map Room and Picture Library staff crowded into bits of the Society's Library space - be anxious to have them claimed as soon as possible.
