With the discussion of different measurements on charts, I would like to suggest a totally irrelevant - but entertaining - book. Arturo Perez-Reverte's THE NAUTICAL CHART (CARTA ESFERICA) in which a chart is the "main character" and the other characters attempt to match a location on the chart with a modern location. It's also a modern mystery story with sinister villains and even the protagonists are of questionable character. In the book collecting field, the "biblio-mystery" - the mystery/detective story where books are somewhat central to the plot - far outnumbers the "carto-mystery." Still, we have some and perhaps the members of the list might note their favorites should they have any. JBP
