Hasn't voted | Thanks for an important addition to SP. When I was preparing to go to Pakistan in '88 the only maps source I could find was Chessler Books. Here's their map index page: http://www.chesslerbooks.com/eCart/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=39 | |

Voted 10/10 | There has been quite a few posts on the forums where they warn people from buying from Chessler, among them a thread right now in P&P "Blacklist-companies I will NEVER buy from again" | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks for the input. I have no personal experiences with Chessler books, but haven't heard anything bad before the comment in the thread. I will remove it if I hear more negative comments. A friend bought some antique books there and was very satisfied. | |
