Ward maps store

[RJ145]

Hey everyone,

I discovered this local store a few weeks ago after looking to sell some transit memorabilia I have. They have tons of original and reproduction maps from all over the country and world. I figured some of you would get a kick out of it:

Damn!  I was just in Cambridge two months ago to get to the Globe Bookstore (may it rest in peace) before it closed....

Best place I've found to visit for maps: at UT here in Austin the bottom floor of the library is a huge room full of old maps.  Spent about an hour there (well I wasnt there alone or I'd have been there 12 hours).  Favorite map was of the US pre-US highways.

I've seen plenty of map/cartographic website provide a link to the Perry-Castaneda map collection. Them and the David Rumsey collection in San Francisco seem to be the most referenced map collections I see on the 'net.

What I love is you can just rummage thru a bunch of old maps.  They aren't displayed, you just open them and carefully look them over.
