Centennia Historical Atlas: DIY Last-minute Gift
It's already Christmas (or a birthday or some other gift-giving day), and it's too late to have a gift copy of the Centennia Historical Atlas delivered to your friend who loves maps and history, but it's the perfect gift. No worries. You can make your own copy on a USB flash drive (thumb drive) and make a nice ready-to-wrap gift box for it, too.
Things you’ll need:
A USB flash drive (any older low-capacity USB will do), a small gift box, packing material (bubble wrap), a color printer, and glue or tape.
Steps:
1: Download Windows or Mac version (or both):
2: Put file(s) on USB flash drive. You can use an old, low-capacity flash drive.
3: Buy a license code. Use code XM8 for a $15 discount:
4: Check your email for the 16-digit license code and print it.
5: Find a gift box. Any size will do. We suggest 8×6×1 inches (or 20×15×3 cm).
6: Wrap the USB flash drive in packing material and place it, along with the printed license code in the gift box.
7: Get cover art and print it:
8: Glue cover art on box. Seal the box.
9: Deliver your gift. Accept praise!

Frank,
Another voice of acclaim for your work. I licensed the application with great delight soon after 2005.
Please add my vote to the requests for an iPad version.
With appreciation and thanks,

Your historical atlas shows details that I have never encountered anywhere else. I first discovered your maps through a viral video on youtube, and I was appalled to learn later that the video was published without attribution and violating your copyright. I hope you at least got some visitors to your site out of that. It's an astounding accomplishment and obviously a huge amount of research and artistry went into its creation.
Can you email me and let me know if you have any deals for students? I would love to be able to assign this to my students in my European History survey class this summer. Thanks, Phillip Perry, Ottawa.

Hi, Phil. Absolutely -- we do have discount pricing arrangements for students in classes, assuming you would be ordering ten licenses or more. We also have licenses for history departments and small computer labs/libraries. I'll email you.
