I suspect that Barry was not referring to David Jolly, but rather to
K.A. Sheets, whose "American Maps 1795-1895 - A Guide to Values" was
published in 1994.

Barry,
Are you referring to David Jolly? His pioneering work is continued by
Jeremy Pool. [No need of reply]

There was an American dealer who attempted one of these in the mid
1990s. He was out of the trade within a few years and I suspect that, in
retrospect, he found the memorialization of his prognostications to be
more embarrassment than proud legacy.

In looking at the web page for the latest price guide, it is not clear
as to how the replacement price for maps is determined. Is it based on
some algorithm involving dealer catalog prices and/or auction records,
or is it simply the author's opinion? Unfortunately, I was unable to
find any information on the website as to the name of the author, nor
was there anything about Map World other than a contact form. Did I miss
something?

If you wish to list valuable resources, and keep the digital resources
relatively complete, you would have to include the Antique Map Price
Guide ( http://www.oldmaps.com/ ), which is about 2.5 times the size of
the CD offering noted at Fine Books& Collections Magazine. As Tony
noted, the Antique Map Price Record is now digital, and located at
www.maprecord.com. As to the announcement of the "first catalogue," in
Fine Books and Collections , well...

Fine Books& Collections announces (on May 10th) 'Antique Map Dealer
Publishes The First Catalogue Of The World's Printed Antique Maps,>From
The Year 1472 To 1850'. This proves to be Map World's Antique Map
Catalogue For Collectors . It comprises 25,000 printed maps up to 1850
and, because its context is the thesis that maps are good investments,
it 'gives every map's current replacement value, from £50 to £6
million'. [No doubt Maphisters will wish to draw up their own list of
the £6 million = $9 million maps.]
My reason for mentioning it is not to promote what is essentially a
commercial exercise but to wonder what - as the first [sic] such work -
it might add to the long established Antique Map Price Record (AMPR),
issued in print since the early 1980s and in annual editions online
since 2002. At a current total of 133,000 records, this is almost three
times the size of Map World's new offering. Besides its commercial
information, the AMPR is also a valuable, and well illustrated,
bibliographical resource.
