I purchased this book for a friend, but had a chance to flip through it before I wrapped it. Wish I had one of my own! I'm pretty old-school, so begin able to have a tactile experience with this comprehensive atlas made it so much more satisfying that searching for the same information on the Internet. By flipping through the pages, I came across places I'd never search for, but glad that I had the chance to see.

Bought this as a coffee table book and for general, occasional reading. It's absolutely thorough, all the maps are extremely detailed and a huge index that won't miss anything you look for. Mighty impressed with the hard-binding and paper quality, totally worth its weight for the price. Best of all are the satellite images and tidbits of select cities. I'm a satisfied buyer.
