5.0 out of 5 stars Great Atlas, as usual, March 23, 2006

This review is from: Rand McNally 2006 U.S. Canada Mexico Road Atlas: Vinyl Covered (Rand Mcnally Road Atlas: United States/Canada/Mexico (Vinyl Covered Edition)) (Paperback)

I have been a loyal user of Rand-McNally Road Atlases for more than 20 years. They are light-weight, sturdy, well designed, comprehensive, (and most importantly),they have great maps that are ACCURATE and UP TO DATE!

The 2006 edition is no different, except that it comes with a strong vinyl cover (which also doubles as a handy file pouch for brochures, receipts, tickets,etc.) and a newly formatted index of cities, counties and states, with up-to-date population estimates, and easily understood indices.

The choice of lavender and purple highlights and overtones for the index can make reading the small font sizes a little tricky (especially if you suffer from "old eyes", as I do). But this is a trivial complaint; by and large, the 2006 Rand-McNally Road Atlas is the best deal you will find. If you buy it, you won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent copy, October 24, 2005

By 

Jennifer P (Gainesville, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rand McNally 2006 U.S. Canada Mexico Road Atlas: Vinyl Covered (Rand Mcnally Road Atlas: United States/Canada/Mexico (Vinyl Covered Edition)) (Paperback)

The vinyl covering is a removable piece, like a book's dust jacket. Doesn't look like it'll come off on it's own though (the pockets are very deep). You could probably store direction printouts in those pockets, or other paperwork you might want to keep with a map. It is quite large, which makes it easier to read.

This review is from: Rand McNally the Road Atlas 2005 (US/Canada/Mexico (Vinyl Covered Edition)) (Map)

I bought this atlas for my boss who is on the road a lot. This atlas is accurate, detailed, and the words are ledgable.
The vinyl cover is nice for protecting the pages.
