Mappae Croaticae u Zbirci zemljovida i atlasa NSK) by Dubravka Mlinarić and Mira Miletić Drder was published in Croatian at the end of 2017 and launched officially on 28 February 2018 at the National and University Library (NUL). The publisher was the Library, with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Croatia. The book is 319 pages long and is an original scholarly work which presents for the first time one of the most important cartographic collections in Croatia. The authors are top experts and scientists in the history of cartography and nobody knows the Novak Collection better than they do (apart from its owner and author, the late Dr. Drago Novak). Many years of work, some with him during his lifetime, lie behind this edition.
