If you do find it for sale, it is usually at an asking price of over $300, and if you don\u2019t read German, you have to hope that you are lucky enough to find a copy of the English translation. (The original 1965 German language version, Kartographische Gel\u00e4ndedarstellung, was translated into English in 1982 but with only a limited press run.) The great news is that you can now get a copy of your own because Esri Press has re-published the English version.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This is also a book that many cartographers have used as the definitive reference for the proper methods to depict relief, including hillshading, hypsometric tinting, and various methods of contouring. In fact for a long while I kept getting requests to write up quite a few of the techniques Imhof describes and so I suggested that the Esri Press inquire about the possibility of re-publishing this book. A lot of people at Esri were responsible for making this happen &#8212; kudos to the Esri Press Team for making this book something we can get again!<\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":4331,"user_firstname":"Aileen","user_lastname":"Buckley","nickname":"Aileen Buckley","user_nicename":"abuckley","display_name":"Aileen Buckley","user_email":"abuckley@esri.com","user_url":"","user_registered":"2018-03-02 00:15:57","user_description":"Dr. Aileen Buckley is a cartographer researcher and Senior Principal GIS Engineer at Esri.
