Due to a little carelessness on my part in the updating of the
MapRecord.com web site, Tony has uncovered a slightly premature
announcement of the transition of the /Antique Map Price Record/. The
particular web page given in the link was not intended to be public
until January (as evidenced by the syntax on that page: "In 2012 Curt
and Marti Griggs ... succeeded" [note the past tense]). But letters
relating to this announcement are to go out in the next week or two, to
AMPR customers, libraries, dealers and auction houses with the same
information, so there is no harm in this bit of news becoming public
slightly earlier than expected.

An announcement about the ending of Jeremy Pool's custodianship of the
/Antique Map Price Record./
"The /Antique Map Price Record/ is now owned and maintained by
OldMaps, LLC. Please go to the OldMaps.com <http://www.oldmaps.com/>
web site for information on accessing the antiquarian map trade data
(including the /Antique Map Price Record/ data) available in this
online database *. . .*
"In 2012 Curt and Marti Griggs (operating under the name OldMaps, LLC)
succeeded Jeremy Pool as publisher of the /Antique Map Price Record/.
Because their web site (OldMaps.com) already provided an online
database of records of maps sold at auction or offered by dealers, the
/Antique Map Price Record/ data were able to be merged, in a
straightforward way, into the existing OldMap.com database. The
combined database, with well over 150,000 records to start, will
continue to grow as OldMaps, LLC adds new data. For full information
about this new, combined, and ongoing database, please go to
OldMaps.com <http://www.oldmaps.com/>."
See ( http://www.maprecord.com/AntiqueMapPriceRecord.html ) for the
full announcement. This cumulative record is valuable for research as
well as commercial purposes.
