Found this recently (on ebay for a couple of quid) and thought it might reveal an interesting map.
It didn't...well not that interesting.
Still, it doesn't matter because it has other things going for it to compensate. Specifically, and discovered to my great (if sad) delight: the sloping 'tab' system designed to help you identify which quarter of North America you want to look at. It's dead simple of course; the one edge is cut at a slight angle so when it's folded, map-stylee, it creates zip-zagging coloured strips that correspond to the colours in that diagram.
Cool tabs. Makes me wonder why they didn't cut them to match layout of the map though, in a layout like:
13
24
rather than
34
12
I'm probably missing something here though
