I'd also like to recommend that you spend a little extra and have them mounted on linen. It makes them durable and packable; you can roll them or fold them. I carried district maps around like that for years until the ink began to rub off where we pointed at certain spots on the map too much. It may be a little pricey, but it will pay off in the long run for those you'll be using a lot. Louise
