This atlas seems designed for school use. It does not have the level of detail I would expect in a top level atlas, but it's over $100 less than the great atlases. I bought it to have one that is extremely current - it does meet that criteria. It's very nice for a general overview atlas. For extreme detail, I still like the Rand-McNally Business Atlas best, that I can always find at my local library.

This is a great value (especially Amazon's used ones). While most of us want the biggest and best, few of us actually need more than what is in this atlas.

The paper quality and printing are very good and the material is well organized. You can see the features by using Amazon's "Look Inside" feature above.

This, along with the Firefly Great World Atlas, stay on the bookcase next to my chair. I am most pleased with this atlas.

This is a beautiful book for anyone who needs an atlas of North America. Large, solid and impressive, it has fabulous detail and information about every aspect of this area of the world. It would appeal to anyone of any age who picks it up. I highly recommend this superior atlas.

There are plenty of atlases on the market, but what makes FIREFLY ATLAS OF NORTH AMERICA: UNITED STATES, CANADA & MEXICO stand out from the crowd is the focus on large-scale maps with excellent cartography by Philip's which displays all major physical features, over forty larger-scale maps for each country's most developed urban areas, and an index of some 40,000 place names which includes latitude and cross-referenced grids for quick location. Add excellent gazette facts-at-a-glance perfect for high school and public library reference holdings and you have a reference sure to be a popular and lasting acquisition.
