Is this really a World Atlas?,
By "civmaster" (Princeton, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rand McNally Atlas of the World: A millennium edition (Hardcover)
I just found out 2/3 content of this atlas is about the United States. And this is actually not what I wanted --- I have a very good US Atlas, but I just wanted a real "world" atlas. The US maps of this atlas are made pretty well --- you can find almost any small town on a map. But for countries outside US, I just feel dispointed, especially for big countries, like Russia and China, the "resolution" of the map is not so good as my expection.

An Outstanding World Atlas,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rand McNally Atlas of the World: A millennium edition (Hardcover)
A good atlas should be on your bookshelf along with a dictionary, thesaurus, and other references. An atlas has a way of going out of date more rapidly than a dictionary, so it's important to have one that is current, but does not cost a fortune. This volume fills the need wonderfully. The maps are detailed and easy to read. New nations are there, and there are excellent maps of the terrain throughout the world. You can sit in your armchair and travel the world with these remarkably clear maps. There is a huge index of cities and clear information about climate and population around the planet. All this, and the price is amazingly low. It's an excellent atlas for a bargain price.

compact atlas,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rand McNally Atlas of the World: A millennium edition (Hardcover)
This atlas is slim and lightweight compared to other atlases, making it easy to pickup to look something up. The maps are clear and easy to read. Each of the maps in the world map section have scales of elevation and distance printed next to them. A great bargain...
