Worth noting, maybe worth having...

Like all other atlases in this series, the African volume is interesting, reasonably comprehensive, but way, WAY, too superficial. The publishers have the merrit of being the first to attempt a continent-by-continent historical atlas coverage. Problem is, their small books are sometimes as much detailed as the corresponding chapter of a more accomplished, generic, World Atlas, like The Times'. The quality of the cartography/art is so dishearteningly poor that it is not worth mentioning. Just do not expect anything remotely similar to National Geographic/The Times graphic quality. All this said, I buy these atlases, in the hope that the publishers will eventualy decide to realy invest in these titles, making a new, wholly improved edition. You can make the same and also get some value for your money.
