Volume 24
of the Antique Map Price Record was
released in March, 2009. This new edition adds
5,860 new records, with the total database now
at over
126,500
records.
The Map Collection Manager, which
was initially added in the 2007 edition, has a number of
improvements this year. The Map
Collection Manager allows you to catalog your own map collection,
and to view, print, search, sort, link to images, etc. for
records of your own maps. In other words, you will be able
to do, with records for your own collection, all the kinds
of things that you already have been able to do with
the historical
records of the Price Record.

Map collectors, dealers, auction houses, appraisers, and
libraries have all found the Antique
Map Price Record to be an invaluable reference
tool. And not just as a record of prices - the CD-ROM is often
the best place to start looking when trying to locate information about
a particular map: Who made or published the map? When was it made?
Where can I find reference books that describe the map?
This publication (sometimes called the "Jolly" after its
first publisher, David Jolly), is now in its 24th volume.
Volumes 1 through 16 were print editions. Volume 24 (like
Volumes 17 through 23) is published as a CD-ROM, and it contains the entire
historical database going back to Volume 1 in 1983. Explore the history of
the Antique Map Price Record,
get a preview of how the CD works, or

how to order it.

Although it [the CD-ROM] retains the words "price
record" in the title, it is sure to become a substantial
reference tool of value to not only collectors and dealers,
but also librarians and scholars.

taken hours poring through huge stacks of books now can be done in
minutes with no heavy lifting. I am a believer. |

print volumes of this series, this CD-ROM makes
searching for information much easier, and anyone who
gets questions about the value of old maps will find it
a godsend. |
