Hi Mary,
I would be very interested in this set as we have geologists and anthropologists working in Ethiopia, but I certainly don't have $30,000 to pay for the set. I may contact them to check out the index and see if we could get specific regions.

Subject: anyone planning on buying scans of 1:50K topos of Ethiopia from LandInfo?
I don't see any sign of the paper ones in
Melvyl.
LandInfo is offering scans of 1:50,000 scale Ethiopia nat’l topographic
maps:
970 maps (ca. 65% coverage—the remaining maps haven’t been produced
yet); index available on request
$29.95 x 970 = $29,052 + shipping
The deliverable in each case above is one set of full Tiff files (400
dpi) and one set of cropped GeoTiff files.
