Thanks, Tom! I'd love to add that book to my collection, but as I already have a basement full of books there is absolutely no place for it. I revere books enough that I think these particular ones all deserve protection in a serious library. I need the information in them, not the responsibility of caring for it. However, I would love to have the map. I suppose one should not buy books in an antique store, but I always head for the bookshelves. Sometimes I find books that you won't find anywhere else. I bought one called "The Sheep Eaters" last week for $4. It was written by a dentist who claimed to have met and interviewed the sole surviving member of the Sheep Eater branch of Shoshone Indians, a woman who claimed to be 115 years old. Years ago I bought a novel by Robert Service in an antique store for $1, called "The Trail of 98." As a novel it is horrid, despite the fact that Service poems are probably memorized and recited aloud more than any other poet's.
