Good country info, so-so maps.

I would have liked to have more detail in the map area. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed in that respect. Something else to note is the cover. It is not an actual hardcover. It is more like a hard soft cover (not really a problem for me). Nice book; just would have liked to see the maps a little larger and more detailed.

ANOTHER REVIEW: This is one of three atlases I use to find places and to discover (or rediscover) certain facts of geography. Populations don’t remain static, political boundaries change and some names change. Those facts need to be cross checked for accuracy. But as a beautifully presented general atlas, this is a wonderful addition to any home or office library. I donated a copy of this to a local school library when first published and it has proven a very helpful ‘gateway to the world’. Jennifer Cameron-Smith
