   What a marvelous idea!!!  I bought a bunch of National Geographics (old
ones) that were suposed to have "Map Supplements" thinking that I'd get some
decent sized wall maps for our own Geography study.  Boy, was THAT a mistake!
The maps are only the size of a single page, and not very well done.  Sigh...
They are SO expensive in the learning stores though!!!
