Sir, - I am sure that the Royal Irish Academy's Irish Historic Towns Atlas deserves the commendations awarded in Dr Pat Wallace's review of February 22nd. However, at £95 a copy, purchasers will be limited to academic institutions, some libraries and a royal clientele.
Can the rest of us look forward to an edition whose price will be closer to the variable costs of producing extra copies, and affordable to the Plain People of Ireland? - Yours, etc.,
Belmont Gardens, Dublin 4.
