I just got a book "The Island of Lost Maps" by Miles Harvey; the CIP
catalogs this in 025.8'2, and gives the first subject heading as
"Libraries - United States - Special collections - Maps - History - 20th
century." The subtitle is "A true story of cartographic crime" and is
about several people (mainly one person) who stole maps in the mistaken
idea that he could protect them better than the libraries!!

My question: why is this in Libraries, rather than History, which is the
second subject heading.??
