No, I'm not a lawyer (phew)
we are certainly taking the view that a map is a collection of facts
and certainly not an artistic work 
(although Steve did mention on legal-talk about one mapper's work of a Pommie 
town that should have been considered an artistic work)
I've just scanned a 1979 Gregory's of Wollongong.
Do I put it on my server?
I once had a 1980 Adelaide directory but binned it years ago as it got me more 
lost than was helpful. There should be directories which are old enough in 
secondhand book shops.
