Map Projection Publications from the U.S.
Geological Survey
The USGS
has a comprehensive series of resources available
listed in their
web catalog.
The materials are available in
paper, html, or PDF format. One of the most exciting
and valuable resources is a full-size poster of
Gerardus Mercator. The reverse side of the poster is
a comprehensive list of map projections and their
respective qualities.
See the information printed on the poster
here.
A free copy can be obtained by calling 888-ASK-USGS
