"At first glance, Imus’ “The Essential Geography of the United States of America” may look like any other U.S. wall map. It’s about 4 feet by 3 feet. It uses a standard, two-dimensional conic projection. It has place names. Political boundaries. Lakes, rivers, highways."

I replied to him on his Facebook page and got an answer!! I think we're going to order some of the folded ones for our Beer Leg prize packages. 😉
