Detailed atlas.
Highly detailed maps of important areas of the world. Sometimes I need a magnifying glass so see the fine print. This is OK for my purposes. I support Missions work in challenging areas of the world. Maps help me understand regions and locales where my donations are being used..

What happened to Liechtenstein?
I have owned a few of these over the years. My favorites? This one and my very out of date 1981 National Geographic.. the only flaw I have found is a glaring spelling listing of Liechtenstein. Sadly I attempted e mailing their website to point out the error, and it’s useless. I got a few replies back basically culminating in are you the person to advise us? That’s a joke and at best giving up. However I was delighted to see details on Venice in city maps Information is clear and concise. It’s also rather current. Things I would like? A larger map of Malta and Manaco and Vatican City. It’s a wish list I know. I would give this as a gift just do not rely on e mail replies from the company that publishes it.

Oversized and Low on Maps
I can't recommend this atlas. It is oversized and impossible to find a place to put it. It has fewer easy-to-read maps than my old Hammond Atlas, and is especially lean on US maps. Too much extraneous information, not enough easy to read maps.

Detailed but easy to use
There is nothing to dislike about this atlas, it is comprehensive and clear in its layout, but still very easy to use; and the cost is very reasonable, compared to others.
