And for two more introductory texts, both involving Snyder, which
include formulae & reference tables and also give an understanding of
the results of many years of map projections research in Russia and
China (and thus many excellent projections for 'the east'):
Map Projections: A Reference Manual. Lev M Bugayevskiy & John P
Snyder. Taylor & Francis 1995.
Map Projection Transformation: Principles and Applications. Qihe Yang,
John P Snyder and Waldo R Tobler. Taylor & Francis 2000.
