[Rockhounds] USGS Folios

[pmodreski]

Wow, cool.When the CSM Museum would sell these at their annual silent auction of books, eocks, & maps, they'd often sell them for maybe $20-$10 apiece. Colorado ones or ones relating to mining districts always more popular, of course. ...Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Unfortunately, none are undamaged. Most look good from the outside, but the inside has old water damage (minor to moderate on the upper edge) and mold spots along the same edge. These documents are about 3-feet tall and 2-feet wide. Most run 10 to 20 pages and all have maps inside. Any thoughts on what to do with them?Alan G._______________________________________________Rockhounds mailing listSubscription Services:  http://rockhounds.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/rockhounds_rockhounds.drizzle.comList Usage Policy: http://Tomaszewski.net/Kreigh/Rockhounds/Rockhounds.shtml
