Hello,=20

I am interested in purchasing a number of good, large maps of foreign =
countries to basically start up our map collection. Something beyond the =
National Geographic maps. How do your libraries collect maps? Are there =
publishers that put out  good maps that sell in sets? I am more interested =
in topographic instead of actual driving maps. For instance, I have a =
student who is working on environmental issues in Belarus, but the maps in =
an atlas are not detailed enough. I can probably buy maps piece-meal, but =
right now I am looking for a collection.=20

Thanks for any input,=20
