Contra the product page, it's not 2001 ... more like 1875-ish. Mainly, I want the old maps. There's also plants, etc plates. And cheaper than the Amazon re-packaged digitals.
I admit, I'm curious exactly what ruins did the surveyors come across, and earlier roads.

I'm in on this one, but I must confess to mixed emotions on it. I've been disappointed by the quality of the images in a lot (most?) of my Logos resources.
But I do love old maps.

I agree. And not meaning to be overly unhopeful, but 30 days is ok with me, if those surveyor boys' work can't be deciphered.
I'm in too. Thanks for the heads-up on this one, Denise.
Had my $10 bid for awhile now :)

"The expedition led by Lieutenants Conder and Kitchener from 1871 to 1877 continues to make a major contribution to the geographical knowledge of Palestine, both ancient and modern. In fact, most maps used today are based upon their original survey. Their reports included both a huge map of Palestine divided into twenty-six sections and ten thousand sites listed alphabetically in the text according to their Arabic names and then transliterated into English.

Ok, down to the wire (Valentine's Day 12 midnight, after that smoochie date with your spouse). $10. And if the maps aren't quite there, 30 day return.
If you go to Amazon, things start adding up frustratingly. The problem, is the product was pretty sizable.
I am in.
Okay, I'm in too. I only wish I could see more examples of the 26 "highly detailed maps".

Agree. But the limited ones I looked at were surprising. We're used to US Army 1800s maps here in Arizona, where every major rise is a 'mountain' ... apparently, following the early trails, they couldn't see if it was a mesa or mountain on the other 'side'. The Palestine ones look like normal topo maps in quite a bit of detail.

Thanks for explaining that. I love maps so this should be interesting to examine.
Thanks for the heads up, I am in too.
