(Victoria, BC) - Today abebooks.com, the world's leading source
for out-of-print, hard-to-find and antiquarian books, launched

resource for map and print enthusiasts combines the knowledge
of abebooks' member booksellers with the power of abebooks' search
engine and database of over 23 million volumes.
"There are thousands of maps and prints listed
in our database," says Ronald Schouten, a Marketing Officer
at abebooks, "and some of our member booksellers have a great
deal of expertise in this area. With the establishment of the
Maps and Prints Corner, we are bringing together these two resources."Aficionados
will be able to search for maps and prints, as well as take part
in a question-and-answer forum with an expert panel of abebooks'
member booksellers. The Maps and Prints corner will offer advice
