[OSM-talk] Printed map books

[Graham Jones]

Hi Paul,
This is very good.   I had to convert the print 'xxxxx'.format() statements
into the ' %d ' % (xxx) format to get it to run on my computer (not sure if
that is a python version issue), but it is producing nice clear paginated
output.

Thanks

Graham.
