As a preview for issue #3, Rob Conley's Map 19 is now on-line as a free downloadable PDF.
If someone could try downloading it and printing it and seeing what happens I would be appreciative. In particular I'd like to see how easy it is to get it on both 1 page and 4, covering most of the page in the first case and all in the second. I'd like to give people instructions with the download for making their own 4 page map out of it, but since I can't do it myself I need someone's help.
Anyway, let me know how it goes!

P.P.S. The PDF version of #2 is also up here: www.lulu.com/content/3879719but I don't want to go promotin' it all over the internet until I'm sure Rob's map is working for download. |

(Rob, if you check this thread, one thing we could do if the printing is a hassle is to make four 1-page maps quartering the thing for 17x22 printing. I have this memory that you sent those to me already so I'm going to go check my mail...)

I did both and it looks great. I didn't even know I could "Poster Print", but there you go - turned the map into 4 separate sheets with cutting guides. The detail is good, nice and clear. The heavy black border is a bit too big for my liking, very ink-heavy. A smaller border or a light grey instead of black would be better. Apart from that, it's a great looking map.

Thanks Greyharp - I'll get some more ads promoting 'the cause' out there as soon as I can (probably Wednesday the way this weekend is going)!

Appreciate the compliment. So you know if you can put it on a USB Flash Drive chance are you can get it printed for cheap at a local copy center like Kinkos, staples, etc. This assuming that you live in the US. I made a tiled version to fit on four 11 by 8.5 sheets. I reduced the border since that will be meant for home printing. I sent it to Calithena. Enjoy Rob Conley |

I accessed the Map 19 item, but all I get when I download is a .jpg, is there a way to download the .pdf?
