Nelles Maps

Kevin Kelly (Cool Tools) reviews Nelles Maps:
Nelles Maps are the best foldable maps for travelers I’ve seen. I favor them for six reasons: 1) They come at a good practical scale for traveling, fine enough to show most small rural towns. 2) Each map displays shaded physical relief of mountains, highway numbers and even ‘places of interest’ – which are often not listed in guide books. 3) The maps are printed on both sides to maximize coverage. 4) They are printed in a form that folds neatly into a shoulder bag, with cover. 5) They are reasonably priced. 6) Best of all, Nelles seem to keep them very up to date. I haven’t found any Nelles maps in print that are more than a few years old.

I am trying to find about about the company that makes or made Nelles maps, but I can’t find an address for them. Do you have that information? I would greatly appreciate it if you could share it.
Dorothy, did you click through to Kevin Kelly’s site? There’s a link there with all the information you need.
