M53. New Popular Edition (One-inch 6th Edition)
For a limited period only, we are offering 30 maps within the numbers 150 to 190 for £50 including postage.
All maps are in good clean condition, but might have slightly chipped covers, very small annotations or other minor defects, and might be a mixture of paper or cloth backed copies. Most will be within the range 160 to 190, roughly the area south of London. We just want to reduce our stock of these.

30 maps for £50 including postage

M52. Fifth Relief Edition
Considered by many to be the most beautiful coloured maps ever produced by the Ordnance Survey, these maps did not catch the imagination of the general public and were published at a very slow speed. Only twenty two numbered sheets were published plus several district and tourist sheets. A non-relief version was adopted in 1934 but this series was never published in full.

We have a set of the twenty two numbered sheets, plus Aldershot North, Aldershot South and Dartmoor. All are paper flat with a centre fold. All are in good or better condition. Some have come from university teaching sets and have very small ink marks or pencil annotations, small chips to the margins, some creasing or dusty margins. Many are in nice clean condition, and overall I would class the set as good/good plus, having selected the best example of each sheet where a choice exists.

See Fifth Relief Edition for a list of sheets and publication dates.

£190 the set, including postage

Individual sheets
We also have a good selection of individual sheets (but not all), paper folded, in varying condition at £6-£8 each plus postage at cost. Please ask for details of Fifth and Fifth Relief maps folded in covers.
See the above link for sheet numbers and titles.
