I am interested in finding some old NY/NJ maps. I noticed on the NJ Archives-related site www.booksnj.com has some maps for sale. But there are no corresponding pictures. I have tried looking at other sites, but have not been able to find a site where I can physically see the map and purchase one. (it seems I can only find sites where you do one or the other). I like the idea of the 1616 New Jersey map of www.booksnj.com but I cannot locate a picture of it anywhere on the web. Has anyone seen it, and is it worth putting in a nice frame? I have found a few other maps that I like, but was wondering if anyone else has had experience in buying old NJ maps - and by old I am talking of those maps from the 1600s where the geography of NJ does not look like the NJ we picture. Thanks for the help. - John __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
You might want to email BooksNJ and ask about the map. They may be able to give you more information on it. They might even have a link to a copy of it - if it is also available on the NJ State Archives website, for instance. Jonathan Sheppard Books has many map reprints that are really nice and I know he has some for NJ. www.jonathansheppardbooks.com should be the website address... and the link to the maps section is: www.jonathansheppardbooks.com/JSBMaps/maphome.htm Happy hunting!
