National Geographic Atlas of the World, 11th Edition

It's a fantastic Atlas, and the size makes it very readable.

Beautiful Atlas! Thick pages, vibrant color.

Several earlier reviews mentioned condition problems, so I wanted to relate that my copy arrived in perfect condition. It was said to be shipping from Amazon, but according to the tracking it actually shipped from the publisher - at the Amazon discounted price. Assuming the earlier complaints were valid, it appears that the seller corrected the problems. I could not be happier with it. It is a beautiful book with fantastic maps, printed on heavy weight paper with sewn binding. No damage of any kind and no missing pages!

Gah. I am so interested in geography. Esp the far off places. This was a huge buy but I am absolutely delighted with it. So detailed. Also comes with a cardboard sleeve. This baby is huge. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do

When I ordered the National Geographic World Atlas I didn't stop to think about size. It is huge; about 18 inches tall, and at least 11 inches wide. And it's heavy. What I like most about it are: 1. The detail: many small towns that are often not named in some other atlases are shown. 2. The paper is high quality and sturdy. 3. Each country, and states in the USA, are shown on two sheets that face each other and are numbered as one page. 4. It has its own ribbon bookmark which really helps when you have to switch back and forth from the index to a map. 5. The vast amount it contains about the land masses and the open seas, the planet itself, and the space around us is incredible. 6. The table of contents itself shows the thoroughness given to each aspect of our world and its inhabitants. 7, And I think the cost is low, considering its high value.

Beautiful book, worth the price.

I wanted this book as a backup copy to a smaller one that I use as this is so large and heavy but on the plus side it has all the information I would need for a detailed perusal. You need a large desk for this book which I don't have but still, it is a very good book. Greg

A large, impressive atlas, perfect for coffee tables. Perfect for map lovers as well. Got it for my wife who loves to plan future trips with it. And speaking of love, she loves this atlas. That’s three loves.
