  12. I work at a store which carries topos for the entire U.S.  When
  13. we receive a new edition of a map, we cut the title corners off the old 
  14. editions, send the titles back to USGS for some credit, and recycle
  15. the rest of the old maps in various ways, including "topolopes" -
  16. topo envelopes.  
  17.  
  18. People come in occasionally looking for old editions, but we can't
  19. help them.
