I agree with you about the maps, they are a treasure. I actually copied mine from the PA library. I did ask Chris, librarian at the Lebanon County Historical Society if they had any intention to do another reprint, but she told me she brought it up at a meeting very recently and no plans to do so, what a shame. I also checked with Dauphin Co., same thing. Warren (Dauphin Co. Hist Soc.) told me that they reprinted around 1985 and couldn't sell them. Of course now you can hardly find them. Dauphin Co. even has an index. The original maps are beautiful, all colors. I saw one PAGE at an anitque shop and my eyes almost fell out when I saw the price- $100.00. Couldn't resist putting in my two cents.
