The deadline for material for number 4 15 August 11 supplements i and perhaps 2 are planned before the end of the year. Our sub$cription manager for the last few volumes, Charley Seavey, merits a very large vote of thanks frolll the membership for his hard work, and for flndtn~ an Inexpensive home for base line. With Charley leaving the University of New Mexico as of early June, Teresa f1arquez and Nancy Pruett have .taken on the posl tioO(; of Producl1on Edi tor and Business Editor xe spec t l vely. I t should be emphasized that this Is, certainly in the case of Nancy Pruett. a temporary holding device only 1 we need to be looking right now for other persons to take on these posil1 cns , base Hne Se81l1Sto be doing well, and to be useful for the eembe r-e , Exchanges have been Inr>tltuted wIth the flew Zealand uep Keepers' Circle and with the Australian ~tap Curators' Circlel the ~itor will put Inrcrec trcn on and from these 'pubHcatlone in base 11ne. rollowing up a lead f1uggested by J.B. rost, the Editor di~covered (hat perlodicals do not go out on AlA slanding orderl but Don Stewart, Associated Execut.1ve Director for ALApublishing, did stale that hd would try to get base 11ne In the next ALA catalog of publications. With the formation of a publ1shin~ advisory committee in January of 1982, the Editor at last has a forrrlal advisory body for base j r one of the problems that needs to be considered by this committee (besides the problem of Product1on Wtor and Business Editor) is how proceedings of MAGEnT meetings are to be published. Also in January, base line acqUired an advertising manager, James Coo~bSI he sent out fliers In the first quarter of the year to prospective advertisers--the advertisement for Varna Publishers in the last base lIne is tn r-enponae to his effortl:l.

Tha Edl tor eouj d 11ke to emphar.he lhat. what makes base line useful Is the input frolll the melllhers--not only on new Items of interest, hut also on problems and on Ideas for new sectIons in base line. Hr. Seavey reported that about. 1'100 brochures were sent out last spring to solicit eubscr-jpt.Lcne for base 11ne.

in some ways this book will remind map librarians of Janet Allin's Map Sources Oi rectcry-c t n that it is in essence a compendium of map pub 11shers ' addresses--Feild' s work also has some text, with the first chapter being a brief (and generally, but not always, correct~ review of cart09raphy worldwide: the main problem is that some of the information is outdated (e.g., Canada's base topographic series is }:50,000, not one inch to the mile; British base line 3(6) :151

Directorate of Colonial Surveys is the Directorate of Overseas Survey, and so on). The second chapter is map facts--basic types of maps, scale, how to mount maps, etc.--and the third chapter is map sources, beginning with the private sector (and specifically outdoor organizations, since this book is aimed toward recreationists, although it obviously has a much wider potential audience), then retail map sources and (bless the author's heart) map reference libraries for each state. Then comes public sector, with state-level map sources, federal-level map sources, international sources (strangely enough, this lists foreign geological surveys, not topographical surveys--ah, well, there's always USGS Circular 834), foreign consular offices, and other selected sources (mainly foreign commercial--but no GeoCenter--and Canadian governmental). This is followed by tables (map scale equtvelents c- tn two places--correction of compass, etc.), then a pithy 2-p. bibliography of publications in English, then a glossary of selected cartographic termS. All in all, a laudable effort (that very nearly succeeds) to get everything in one compact volume. (MLl) GENERAL Monmonier, Mark S. Computer-assisted cartography: 1982. IS8N 0-13-165308-3 ; $20.95.

GeoKartenbrief 295 (Aug. 1982) reports a tale of woe with which we are all painfully familiar: -In February. 1980 we ordered some 100 maps of the topographical surve,y of a state whose name we'd better omit. In May. we were informed the meps were avelteble eqe tns t prepayment only, a price-ltst was enclosed. We at once prepaid but were very astonished at finding that the check came back, unredeemed. one month Tater. It took us half a year to obtain the information the rnflps were not for sale. There was given not even the reasons"( .•. military ones). ...So. 1981 passed and we had to report this state of things to all clients. At the end of the year it occurred that a client 01 ours. travelling in th said country, bought one of those maps in a bookshop without more ado. lie tnforned us temedtate l y and we put a new order in January, 1982. In l1arch, we received a pro-fonna Invoice. the prices being about 3 times as much as those 2 years ago. We protested and succeeded in receiving an amended invoice reduced to an 'ordinary' inflationary level. Now finally. we could pay for the second time, mid of may. 1982. Since then. we are waltin9 for the shipment, ever hoping to be able, at last. to supply those maps after nearly 3 years' Interruption. Sure l ... we are getting accustomed to surprises like that being amused as well as somet1meslf!,perate .. :' (some edHIng by your editor - but you get the point).

From J8P (I think): Geological Society of America's annual meeting recently in ~ew Orleans saw Susan Kltmley talking about the problems of deceytnq maps in the backs of book publications. Susan works at Columbia U in NY (1f you need more info). Peter

lves , one of David Cobb's mf ntcns at the U of Il, has figured out that in the next 5-15 years, map Ilbrartes that are USGS depositories (all topos for all states) will need about 46 cabinets to swallow up the products of the steppedup national mapping program. Just a lIttle friendly word of warning. Best let your director know the worst.

MAPPING

From InfoWorld. Nov. 15, 1982 (ending on p. 58): "Micro-Map 2: map-making aid for the Apple II." 1111 quote from the surrmary: The maps this program produces are beautiful. But if you thtnk trilateratton is writing words in a different alphabet, you probably wonlt find this program easy to use. The biggest problems

with this product are the cartographic jargon lED. - a classic case of the pot call1ng the kettle blackl) used throughout and the lack of a program to print the maps you generate (ED. - I). These. coupled with its 11st price of $650, make Micro-Hap 2 a viable addition only to the professional map maker's 1 ibrary.

In re that handsome (black with angular rainbOW) brochure on National Union Catalogs in microfiche that you just received from LC - yes, there IS an error in the . cartographic materials sample; the people who put the brochure together did NOT have LCG&Mproof it so In the NUC 01 Geographfc Class Cotle Index, the first line - 5834 A885 - ts wrong - It should be either 3844 85 or 3844 (+ cutter for Garrett Park).
