Virginia Atlas and Gazetteer
- Book Review,
by Manufactured by Delorme Publishing Company
From Book News, Inc.
Three new DeLorme state atlases (see preceding two entries) continue the excellent cartography and printing introduced by Maine and some dozen subsequent works. DeLorme's process reduces the USGS quadrangles to a scale of 1:150,000 (ca. 2<1;/2> miles to the inch), retaining the colors and features of the quad (forest overlay, roads, contour lines...), and adding campgrounds and other recreational facilities, and an index. The whole is put up in volumes measuring 11"x15<1;/2>". Outdoor users will prefer a folded map; libraries will find these volumes very appealing. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
