#4If you carefully review the other volumes, you'll find a series of clues that, when combined, yield a map that leads you to the lost volume 5. It just says "told you cartography was awesome" over and over for 400 pages.

#5In case anyone is wondering, volume five is "forthcoming":
See: https://geography.wisc.edu/histcart/
and: https://geography.wisc.edu/histcart/volume-5-cartography-in-...
Only volume 1 came out in 1987; volume 2 was published in three books from 1992 to 1998; volume 3 came out in 2007, 6 in 2015, 4 in 2019.
academic publishing allows for out-of-order execution.

I'm assuming their site is being hammered by HNers downloading the PDFs (myself included) since the download speed is only a few KB/s (unless they're smart and have implemented a rate limiter).

#9Annoying the way they've broken them up into different PDFs. Fascinating series though! There's gotta be close to 10,000 pages.
