I have dithered for many years about finally buying a good sized atlas and I'm glad that I finally pulled the trigger. We are enjoying it immensely and I'm sure we will for some time to come. Electronic maps are great, but it is really nice to have these large-scale maps at my fingertips. Review: my favorite atlas. for me it is the best atlas - For me, a normal person who reads the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times print edition every day, the National Geographic Family Reference Atlas of the World, fifth edition, is absolutely perfect for my needs. It is meticulously and thoughtfully designed to make it very easy to find countries and to present in an easy to read format essential facts about each country printed on the same page as the map of the country. I would give this 100 stars if I could. The maps are very easy to read, unlike the very difficult to read maps in the Oxford Essential World Atlas, eighth edition.

Great book ruined by binding
This is a great book, high quality map and articles about geography, but 5% off every single map across two pages are lost due to the overly tight binding, this book can not lay flat, which is a big problem for a…map book. Please revise with other more sensible binding forms.

Great purchase
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and size of this atlas, given the price. I love a nice book, but bought this to replace an old and outdated student atlas I purchased for my kids over an decade ago. I almost didn’t want my kids to handle it, but they also enjoyed looking through it. Great purchase.

Well made and very detailed.
I was looking for a new world atlas to replace an old one that was falling apart. I'm kind of a map nerd and like the quality and detail in this new one. It's a great reference tool for providing overviews when we're planning trips or cruises.

Very comprehensive, great for general knowledge and family conversation!
In addition to the large maps, it also contains much information about the world, different, regions, culture, global issues. Highly recommend it for families to trigger conversations and interest amongst children. It's one of those few books that you can keep in the home for decades and still stays relevant!
