I am sure they are enjoying the winter holiday season. They are in Oregon. No news I have heard on a second edition, but after the holidays I will ask
them.
I have sent them a couple of edit suggestions.
Please submit any corrections and changes you would like in the next edition.
Feel free to email them to me any you have or just contact them directly.

Thanks for all the interest.
Paul, unless it is a map to the Lost Mission of Santa Isabel, or Melchior Diaz's Lost Grave, I will not be scanning big maps at 600 dpi... I would
see myself growing old, it is that much slower of a scan speed!
My map library is for education and enjoyment, not for anyone to reproduce any of them, professionally. I don't desire the quality to be better than
needed for clear and close-up reading.
If there is a way to (easily) improve my work, then I would be fine with that... show me, and you can buy me a beer!
This 1941 map is a special one because it was photocopied onto poster paper for my enjoyment.
It hung on my wall for many years. I didn't even think of it to share because it was in a tube the past year... out of sight, out of mind, as they
say.
When I looked at it the other day, as I attempt to clean out my collection of maps and books, it dawned on me that it was not yet on
VivaBaja.com/maps. So, I scanned it and sent the scans to geoffff for stitching and enhancing.
Being a photocopy of someone else's scan or photo of an original copy, I was not surprised that it would not be clear and crisp as most of the other
maps I have saved for viewing.

My last contact over 6 months ago indicated the new edition was in final editing.

Then you know more than me. I heard it would be at least a couple years. They have several Atlas books. I did hear the Baja one blew away their
expectations and was the first to require a second printing so soon!

Yes, as David says, the 1941 map is a photocopy, so it won't really get better at higher resolution. The uploaded stitched version is 300 DPI.
David's scans are at 300 DPI, but I often upload the stitched maps (such as the AAA maps) at 150 DPI, because they seem nicely readable at that
resolution.
