Re Map of Russia

Fri Apr 18 09:36:20 UTC 2008

Funny you should ask...

We have just released the updated, second edition of our Bilingual  
Wall Map of Russia. Available in folded or laminated (ships in tube)  
versions. And it integrates all internal border changes made up  
through March 1, 2008 (consolidating the subjects of the RF to 83).  
Shows all cities with populations 50,000 and above, and many down to  
10,000. Map is entirely based on GIS technology, measures 3x4 feet,  
and is actually two maps in one--all in Russian on one side, all in  
English on the other.

A beautiful map, if we do say so ourselves. Plus we are having a  
special new product promotion: 25% off any orders done online through  
midnight April 18, Eastern time in the US.
