Customer Reviews

Wonderful cartography!

I looked through 5 atlases at Hasting's Books, and all were very poor. I finally found a copy of the Hammond, and it was by far the nicest, most informative, and accurate of any I have seen. I have spent time in Antarctica, Europe, and all over the US, and this Atlas lists places and features that I know exist but never see in the other atlases. In addition, the color choices, fonts, and map design are quite classical and pleasing to the eye. A joy to look at, just for fun!

Well worth the price

This atlas is the best atlas I have ever seen. It's detail is unsurpassed by any other atlas available. If you want an atlas with great detail outlining all the new boundries, this is the book for you. This book has kept up with all the world border changes.
