Superb example of what a state atlas should be like.,
By Hamilton (Madisonville, KY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Atlas of Kentucky (Hardcover)
Chock full of information. Very colorful, lots of photos, maps, and graphs. This should be used as a standard for every state atlas.

Atlas of Kentucky,
This review is from: Atlas of Kentucky (Hardcover)
This is a geo-political publication, NOT an atlas in the normal sense of the word. In fact, calling it an atlas without further clarification of its true nature is extremely misleading.
