This atlas was advertised as having many more curves than the first edition, but at first glance it appears that most of these "new" curves come from MIL-HDBK-5 (now MMPDS-01) and the Aerospace Structural Metals Handbook (Purdue CINDAS). If you don't have the first edition, this would be a good source as there are many curves not included in MIL-HDBK or ASMH. The presentation of the curves is uniform (and is much better than what I remember of the first edition) and the pedigree and source references remain excellent.

from the table of contents (#'s in brackets are # of pages):
section 1: brief introduction to monotonic and cyclic stress-strain curves (most curves presented in this atlas are monotonic)[20 pgs]
section 2: ferrous metals (cast irons[44], carbon steels[27], alloy steels[37], high-strength steels[33], stainless steels[109], tool steels[7])
section 3: nonferrous metals (cast aluminums[20], wrought aluminums[204], aluminum laminates[12],copper alloys[40], magnesium alloys[76], nickel alloys[74], reactive and refractory metals[24], titanium alloys[70], pure metals and misc alloys[10])

There are usually 2 curves per page.
