I think they should substitute "Small" for "Midsize" in the description of this item. I just returned it because it was too small. Entire states are on one letter-size page and only major roads are shown. I bought it because the Large Scale Atlas is not available in spiral bound except for the one with the Travel Guide which makes it too big and heavy. I have now ordered the Travel Guide version and intend to tear out the Travel Guide section.

Bought this Atlas for my fathers birthday. He had a pitiful atlas in his car that he'd received free, but he liked the size. I found this one in the size he liked. It's more manageable with the ring binder and in addition to great city maps it has all kinds of additional information including things to see and do. He LOVES it and claimed it as his favorite gift this year.

I was so happy to find an Atlas with the features I've been looking for so I bought two of them, one for each vehicle.

The book size is nice, it fits perfectly underneath my seats. No more Atlas with ruined covers from being stuck between the seat and the console!

Speaking of the cover, this version has a cover made from heavier stock thus can take a bit of a beating.

The spiral-bound books are a necessity in my opinion. I don't know why there are still Road Atlas's being released that aren't spiral-bound! It's so nice to have the book opened flat without having to crease pages.

The only Con I found with this book is really the most important function of a book - the content. I expected that many of the smaller roads would be unable to fit in the smaller size however several recent trips have left me extremely frustrated when even state highways and large secondary routes were missing. There are also many towns missing, some of them larger towns with reasonably sized junctions.

I love the features (size, spiral-bound, cover) but without the content these features are pointless. I have two brand new copies if anyone needs an Atlas showing nothing but Interstates!

Release this book with better content in the next publish and it gets 5 stars. IMO, until then, put your money elsewhere.

I hae used the previous edition to make my cross country roadtrip a success, and now I am using to plan my next trip across america, very user friendly, however it would be better to be spiral bound to keep it open to the page.

My husband and I did a cross country road trip from Seattle, WA to Atlanta, GA this past summer. This atlas was our bible on the entire trip. It served us true except in Las Vegas and Atlanta. Some of those directions were incorrect. However, the other 5587 miles, it served us well. :-)
