Two Maps of the ADIRONDACKS -- Canoe Map, 1987 -- HIGH PEAKS REGION, 1985

Description

This lot contains two maps of the Adirondacks Mountains in upstate New York, both printed on two sides, and both measuring about 44" x 35". Both are also
published in Keene Valley, New York, by Plinth, Quoin & Cornice Associates.
They are shown together in the first picture, then individually in the following order:
Pictures # 2 through 7:
T
his map is titled "The Adirondacks - High Peaks Region." Sure enough, the map shows an area mostly west of I-87 and including the towns of Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, Elizabethtown and Newcomb. Dated 1985,
and stated to be the Second Edition,
it has a scale of 1:62,500.
The other side shows "High Peak Trail Profiles."
It is in excellent and usable condition, but with some light creasing and edge wear, and it has been folded to 7-1/2" x 9", which is how it will be shipped.
Pictures # 8 through 12:
T
his map is dated 1985 and
titled "Adirondack Canoe Map." The map side has a scale of
1:31,680, and
covers an area from Tupper Lake at the lower
left to Rainbow Lake at the upper right, with insets of Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake. The other side, at a scale of 1:62,500, contains a diagonal map of Raquette River from Old Forge at the lower left to Upper Saranac Lake at the upper right. The enlarged insets show places along the way, and the map at the upper left appears to cross-reference the corresponding USGS topographical maps.
It is in less perfect condition than the other one, partly because it hasn't always been folded the same way, leaving puffy fold creases and chafing around the edges. It will be shipped as folded, which is also about 7-1/2" x 9".
International Buyers –
Please Note:
Import duties, taxes, and charges are
not included
in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges. We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws.
COMBINED SHIPPING: See our seller list for other interesting and unusual items, in fact bid on several and you might save on shipping and handling. If you buy multiple items, and if it's feasible and cost-effective for us to ship the items together, we will gladly consider requests to combine shipping at a reduced cost. Just e-mail us, and we can provide combined shipping cost estimates on a case-by-case basis. Depending on weight and other considerations, we typically offer full shipping rate for the first item, then 50 cents or .00 per item.
And if you are purchasing multiple items, please make the payment as a single payment, rather than trying to pay for each item separately.
Oh, and this may sound obvious, but we can't reduce the shipping charges for items on which we offer free shipping.
PAYPAL: Let us preface this by saying that Paypal has never been our preferred method of payment, but we realize it is now basically the only form of payment that eBay allows. For international orders, therefore, we now accept payment only by Paypal, unless you initiate some other form of payment that we agree to in advance. Repeat,
in advance
, please.
Please note also that, due to Paypal's ridiculously over-protective "Confirmed Address" policy, we no longer honor requests for shipment to third party addresses, and we reserve the right to refuse to ship to unconfirmed addresses, especially overseas. If you have any questions about this, please contact us prior to bidding so we can review your options. If you have any complaints about this, please contact Paypal.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COSTS: If the eBay auto-calculator is not responding, or if you think our shipping costs are too high, please contact us prior to bidding to determine your shipping options and costs. Repeat,
prior to bidding
, please. Because of Paypal's proof of delivery requirements, we can't always offer the cheapest forms of international shipping, but we might be willing to bend our rules on a case by case basis, so long as you agree that you have no recourse to file claims against either us or Paypal in the event of loss or damage in transit.
SALES TAX: Maine residents, please also include sales tax in the amount of 5.5 percent of the winning bid amount. This should calculate automatically at checkout, and the only way to avoid it is to send us a copy of your current Maine Resale Certificate. Upon receipt, we'll send you a customized invoice with the sales tax deleted.
FEEDBACK: Because of abuses we've experienced in the past, we have totally given up on the eBay feedback system, so we neither give nor expect feedback. Please, therefore, do not contact us after the auction asking us to leave feedback. If you ever have a problem with an item you purchase from us, please contact us directly about it before giving negative feedback or seller ratings, and especially before invoking eBay's dreaded Grand Tribunal in processes like "Return Requests" or "Opening an Item Not as Described Case." No one is perfect, and we occasionally mis-describe something, or an item arrives late or gets damaged in the mail, but we are always quick to respond to a problem and set it straight in the most mutually agreeable way.
