This review is from: The World: Discover, Explore, Experience (Hammond Atlas) (Imitation Leather)

If you wanted to explore the world, you'd pull out your trusty atlas for guidance. And there is none better to reach for than one created by Hammond, the leader in maps.

The World is up-to-date as of 2009. This imitation leather travel guide is broken down into sections by continent. Within these sections, each country is shown with major cities labeled. The United States, Canada and Mexico are also shown at the state and province levels. In addition to these maps, the reader will find suggestions of places to explore, and a little history is also included.

Discover, explore and experience the world with Hammond. Maybe you're only traveling in your armchair, or you're planning to see some of these recommended sights in person. Either way, you can't go wrong with this quality atlas.
