[bksvol-discuss] How Do You Handle Maps?

I'm doing one of these fantasy books with a map on facing pages at the 
beginning.  The submitter actually scanned those pages, and while the map 
obviously isn't here, there is a list of towns at the bottom of one map that 
came out rather well, as well as a couple of names in the map itself.

I was wondering whether I should write something here about there being a map 
in the print edition which is not reproduced here or something like that, or 
just leave things as they are.

Is there some consensus here from people who have done books with maps before.

By the way, I'd love to get accessible maps from some of my favorite fantasy 
series, such as Tolkien's, Jordan's, Martin's, Brooks, etc.  But anyhow, what 
do people generally do about these things?

Thanks.
