The USGS opened its new online store this month. This is great news because ordering products from the USGS usually involved a phone call or to visit a store. Now you can browse their product line to find exactly what you are looking for. Also, many recreational outfitters and other commercial retailers that offer USGS topographic maps have quit offering printed maps and have installed print-on-demand mapping kiosks. In my opinion, the maps are not nearly as readable as the traditional paper versions. Anyhow, the new online store seems to have a very broad inventory of maps, books and digital products too. There is also a section of specialty maps that include themes from natural disasters to other planets. Maps from other government agencies are offered as well. You can access the online catalog via: store.usgs.gov
