A fantastic old-world book with beautifully detailed maps worthy of any coffee table
This awesome world atlas from 1981 contains humongous maps that stand as both great geographic reference as well as capture the geo-political boundaries that existed at that point of time. My parents received this exact edition (5th) as a wedding present, and now I have a copy of my own. The two-page maps are fantastic to huddle over with others and makes planning road trips a breeze.
Finding a good copy at a reasonable price can take a little bit of time, but once you do you'll be proud to display this book on your coffee table to study on the weekends.
Very large photos of the countries of the world. Many cities are shown. This is a very large and heavy world atlas and it is exactly what I was hoping for.
