3) HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL MAPS OF THE MODERN AGE
Hisatlas is still progressing. The author, JoaquĆ­n de Salas Vara de Rey, has revised some maps and added new ones of New England, Morocco, China and Spain. Most of the new maps are in PDF (Adobe Reader) format so that much more details are displayed.
Hisatlas 0.97 includes now 266 detailed historical maps and this new version costs 24.90 euros. If you are an existing customer, send us, until July 14th, your name and purchase date and we will give you a free download link for this new version.

4) WORLD RAIL ATLAS 8
An A4 landscape soft-back publication. The 1st section gives, country by country, a historical summary of rail development, with section opening / closing and electrification dates, metro and tramway details too. The next section of 72 colour maps shows in detail all railway systems that have ever existed in the region, followed by a full index of stations. Volume 8 - The Middle East and Caucasus - came first and the gaps will be filled as the maps / history is completed. The series will be the definitive guide to the world’s railway networks with valuable contributions from most railway companies around the world.
