Ordnance Survey Atlas of Scotland: Quarter Inch to the Mile.
Southampton: Printed at the Ordnance Survey Office, 1924.
First edition. (4)[title, index, scales, and characteristics], followed by the 18 folios, + (3) index. The folios are double-page maps with wide borders, mounted on linen, alternating with blank openings. Several have small foldouts to extend the area covered. Erratum slip tipped in at title. Large landscape quarto (c.14 x 15.5ins / 35 x 40cms), in the original pink cloth boards with royal crest and decorative lettering in gilt, with later spine and corners all made good in a neutral (grey) cloth. The new upper leading corner to the front is slightly angled, having presumably been very eroded before repair. The contents are very clean and in good order, and the repaired binding is attractive and firm. Scarce. Very Good.

The FRAM Atlas of the Southern Ocean.
Swindon: NERC / Natural Environment Research Council, 1991.
First edition. 67pp, illustrated in colour and printed on art paper (Consort Royal Osprey Silk). Giant landscape format: A2 (42.5x60cms / 17x23.75ins), spiral bound within laminated plastic pictorial stiff covers. 'The research project was designed to make the first computer high resolution model of the circulation around the Antarctic. The project was called Fine Resolution Antarctic Model (hence FRAM). The name also recalled Amundsen using Nansen's old ice-strengthened ship [Fram, meaning 'Forward'] for his expedition to the South pole. On the way across the Southern Ocean he made oceanographic measurements that were used in our computer model.' (J.D.Woods). A small production fault has left a grey smudge to the lower corners of odd pages 1-9. Contents otherwise clean and unmarked. Very Good+.
