1. This map is great. This is the cheapest price anywhere. Its exactly like the ones sold in store for much more. Delivery is a little slow but its worth the wait.

3 comments about The Winterthur Guide to Caring for Your Collection (Winterthur Decorative Arts Series).

1. This is a great book and I have used some of the info provided to care for some textiles that I have.



2. This is a small book that gives the readers a basic understanding of how to care for any collection. Broken down into collection type (textiles, photographs, porcelain, toys, glass, etc.), the use of pictures and easy to understand principles has served as a quick reference to let me know what kind of preservation care would be needed for a certain item. Of course, the book is not designed to be the ultimate reference on detailed preservation care, but unless you're an expert and can access the detailed information you need from your own shelves, this serves as something that gives correct information without overwhelming those of us who might care for a personal collection or who have come across an item we are unfamiliar with. Very useful and one of my favorites!!



3. This is a great book either if you're a museum professional or just an amateur collector who wants to understand the effect of physical and chemical forces on common collectible materials. It's easy to read and engaging.

1. This beautiful book is filled with many wonderful maps as well as early western journals desribing the first explorations of the Ohio Country by white settlers and their encounters with the many native tribes that called Ohio home in the mid to late 18th century. Including such important accounts as Christopher Gist, who was the first white man to chronicle his explorations of the Ohio wilderness, John Heckewelder and David Zeisberger, the famous Moravian missionaries who founded a number of Christian Indian towns in eastern Ohio and who help support the American cause during the Revolution in the west, Col. Henry Bouquet, the leader of a military expedition into Ohio in 1764 to help put down Pontiac's Rebellion, as well as many others whose explorations and contact with the Indians proved valuable to posterity. Early maps are compared with modern versions to try to locate a number of vanished Indian villages in a way never done before, thus providing a new perspective on the locations of modern roads and cities to their old Indian counterparts, particularly in the areas around modern Coshocton at the Forks of the Muskingum River. This area was also the site of the ill-fated Fort Laurens, the first American military installation in the Ohio Country. This is a wonderful reference book and is highly recommended to anyone with an interst in Ohio or frontier history.



2. From a book such as this I want two things: first, to get to know the historical characters personally and intimately, to achieve empathy with their world view and their values sufficient even to feel that I could engage and interact with them; and second, to find surprises in their use of the English language.

   By prudently selecting and meticulously editing the journals included therein and by preferring narratives to inventories, Booth has satisfied what I wanted. (As for the hermeneutics and reconciliation of geography, maps and written descriptions ... well, ok, I'm glad he belabored that material but I'm gladder still that he grouped it such that I could skip over it. It's pretty dry.)

   The journal keepers do reveal themselves. They are like us and they are decidedly not like us. The boy who recognizes, matter of factly, his mother's scalp on an Indian's belt ... the Indians who did not kill prisoners except by prolonged torture ... the criminal Indian tracked down by revenge minded tribesmen meekly submitting to execution ... the white man observing captive (from childhood) white women who exhibited the behavior and mannerisms of Indian women and then made the truly giant leap, thinking that perhaps Indian children if raised by white families might grow up to be just like the whites ... the Moravians who cast lots for decision making and interpreted the outcomes as divine intervention. These are just a few.

   Having read a history of the OED (The Meaning of Everything by S. Winchester) just before this book, I was on the lookout for surprises (maybe not to another, but to me). From the 1760-1780 time period I wasn't expecting to read the missionaries' complaints about the Indians "boozing." I should have expected to read that lines of march were often "Indian file," but I guess I thought that was a dime novel affectation. It isn't. Then there was the diarist who wrote that provisions could not be had "for love or money." And there are other treats to be had, if you relish this sort of thing.

   This is one of those books that should be more than read; it should be savored. When you finish it, snip out the pages and boil them in a kettle and make yourself a tea from it. That is how much you will like this book.




3. Great book, especially if you are from the area the book deals with. You can learn much information about the history of this area of Ohio.

1. Maps are cheaper than they ever were. For those odd folks who still do not own a GPS, these are great maps. Highly detailed and accurate, they do what they are supposed to do....help get you from point A to point B the old fashioned way. I prefer this over mapquest anyday.

5 comments about Maryland/Delaware Atlas & Gazetteer.

1. These state gazetteers make traveling the back roads a pleasure, and is a great value from Amazon.



2. The only atlas I've found which shows the whole penninsula. That makes it easy to find directions around traffic without using two or three maps. Wonderful for those of us who know the major routes but always wondered to where the side routes lead.



3. We bought this map/gazetteer in preparation for our trip to Maryland. I am satisfied with the quality of the atlas, it's easy to read and well organized.



4. As a native Mainer and longtime owner of the Maine Atlas and Gazeteer from DeLorme's, I had high expectations of the Maryland one. And I really had a need for it too - I commute there for business about 40 weeks a year.
   
   I am very disappointed by this product. It has nowhere near the detail or resolution that the original Maine one does. (I think every dirt road in the State of Maine is clearly marked!)
   
   I shudder to think about what the Gazeteer would be for a state like CA or AK ... somebody else will have to find out!



5. The Maryland/Delaware Delorme is a great all-around map. It has more detail for roads than most state-wide road maps and includes topographical information on top of that. I have used the Delorme Atlas for several years now both for driving and off-trail hiking. It has always met my needs. Since the area covered by this map is smaller than some other states Delorme makes maps for, they are able to go into greater detail than they are for VA or PA.
