Coming from a cartographer...,
This review is from: Atlas of the Middle East and Northern Africa (Hardcover)
The previous edition of this atlas was excellent, but this one looks like the graphic design department got a hold of it and the actual cartography took a back seat. For example, there are whole sections of countries hidden in the spine of the book. And the borders are two inches thick which takes up space that could have been used to expand the map. I feel those are two of the most important things when looking at an atlas, being able to see the country and not have an inch cut out the middle, and have the map be as big as the page allows without distorting it. If you are going to buy this atlas, buy the previous paperback edition, which is an excellent atlas for its size and price!

This is an adequate reference, but it is difficult to distinguish between the markings for international and internal boundaries.
