The Colton map arrived today (5/11) and looks GREAT! It is a beautiful piece of work, and was securely packaged and protected. I really am pleased with your quick and friendly service -- and I am glad to make a purchase from a family run business!

I've already browsed through it briefly: a very interesting work in its original, very well preserved condition. Simply wonderful!
