Schropp

Wherever you're going, go to Schropp first. It is a comprehensive treasure trove of guide books, maps and general information about almost everywhere imaginable on planet Earth. Really, test them out. Think it's not possible to buy a guide book or map for the Antarctic? Guess again, because Schropp offers seven publications about the coldest place on earth. They include physical and politcal maps (who does actually own the vast frozen fields and the resources beneath them?), a general guide, and information about wildlife. You don't have to worry about an old-style map flapping about in your face or dissolving in the rain if you're heading somewhere with unfriendly weather - because Schropp is also purveyor of GPS equipment.
