Collins World Atlas: Reference Edition

Excellently produced, with many pages relating to social, economic and political topics appearing in the first section. In fact this 'preface' is replete with further information of a topographical and geographical nature and provides a welcome introduction to what is a first-rate atlas.Of course, the meat of this book is represented by its copious maps of all regions of the world and there is not a lot to say other than it is well designed and despite the myriad of detail, easy on the eye. It is possible to spend over thirty minutes looking at one page due to the breadth of detail within.The quality of the print and paper make the experience of browsing an atlas even more compelling and, whilst it is possible to glean such information on-line quite easily, there is something more enlightening by being able to see this information in paper format. I highly recommend this atlas to those of us who are fascinated by maps and by the world around us.

I purchased this particular copy as it included pages of world country flags, the atlas was a gift for my dad who is an avid cross worder, and also has travelled to many places around the world, this reference book gives him up-to-date names of countries and their flags and many other interesting reference points.

I have an old version which is larger so I was a bit disappointed with this, as, unlike the previous one, I really couldn't manage to read it it at all without glasses. However, it contains a great deal of extra information.

This World Atlas is a must for your home, being up to date, and with a great reference library in itself.Many Thanks

So full of useful information.My 9 year old grand daughter can pick out as much of the detailed and advanced information as she likes and go back for more as her interest develops

Its fine.

just right for my crosswords.

Perfect

What a good buy! My old atlas was at least 35 years old and so far out of date, that I could hardly find what I wanted in it. This new one has everything that I want and need and it is no trouble to look up countries/cities. The grandkids like it because it has all the 'new' countries and they use it for their reports at school. Maybe I just waited until they all were of an age to use it to the best of their abilities. I love it too!!!

Been doing a bit of worldly travel lately. Have my PC, my smartphone & my tablet. Sometimes you just need to be able to feel a printed page & see an overview of the areas you've been, are planning to go, & hope you will see. This world atlas is up to date, easy to read and comprehensive. Just what I wanted!!

Theyrrrrrre great!

Got this for my husband, but I also find myself using it to look up many of the new countries I never heard of. Book is really nicely done and easy to use.

purchased as a gift for friend who enjoyed it very much

Thank you very much.

Much too small for a world Atlas. Need a magnifying glass to see the type. Seller requires you to pay postage and handling to send back.
