jrv prescott 1975
seminal poetic elegant little tome
includes survey of lit
nice place to dive in

also noteworthy for possible tri pointing applications
are his commendations of works by
g e pearcy
r hodgson
k o emery
m sorensen &
a l shalowitz

btw i confess i have been gold bricking about mining the asian tripoints
from prescotts greater tome of the same year
map of mainland asia by treaty
as was probably obvious anyway when no further reports ensued
but i did notice that the one tripoint i reported previously
namely afghanistan iran turkmenistan
is actually more likely to lie in the thalweg of the hari rud rather than
on the right bank
oops
& such a textual contradiction & obscurity just exemplifies the difficulty
of the task
so dont expect much more light on asia for a while

actually on reflection i think it might be better to mine gideon for asia first
as well as for europe & america
since we probably will not find an easier way to at least get started at
opening up all the terra incognita that remains in these regions
