Wow!  I was wondering why I just got a copy of this rag (Sun
Observer)... I looked inside, and discovered a subscription card...
they want ME to pay $43/year for this... most of the rest of the
throw-away rags that I have seen were free.  

As far as selling the maps, I doubt that there are any laws against
it... I'm sure it couldn't be traced... I am kinda curious to know how
much the person got for it... and I'm a bit pissed that I didn't think
of it first :-)

+C: wondering...
