Why buy pirate when, as somebody has already said, new Almanacs are on ebay, and Amazon? Ya, the price is up there. But, if you want one, and can't
find it cheaper .....
Personally, I wish I had bought a few extra of the 2003. Much easier size to carry.

Are you saying that counterfeit goods are sold on eBay? I am shocked!
Woke!

Mapmakers (cartographers) sometimes put intentional errors in their maps as a copyright protection.
Not sure if that was Landon's doing or he was just up too late when he was making the 2009 Baja Almanac? Back in 2009, BajaLou was the first (I think)
Nomad to discover some major errors on the edges of some of the maps...
Here again are those latitude errors:
2009 Almanac latitude corrections to pencil in:
On Maps 5 & 6, the latitude changes to make: All the 31° figures needs to be 30° (the minutes are fine).
On Map 7: All the 31° figures need to be changed to 29° and the one 30° figure needs to be 28°.
Map 12 [RIGHT side only] latitude figures are wrong, they should be the same numbers as on the left side.
Map 18 The degree figures on both sides are wrong: the 25° figures should all be 24°, and the 26° figures should all be 25°.

All of the smart ones place errors on their maps. The first thing we were taught when using Thomas Bros for first response was this. Best to know your
first in (and environs) and not rely on a map.

So, I got a message from the seller on FB stating that he bought the remaining original almanacs from the family.
If this is indeed the case, my sincerest apologies.
In my defense, I did have many clues to be suspect: Admitting making unauthorized copies previously, Not answering my inquire on eBay, etc.
I'll just put this to rest and move on and have a Pacifico

Huh?
Counterfeiting is stealing!
Respect the copyright!
