National Geographic Family Reference Atlas of the World, 5th ed.

For me, a normal person who reads the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times print edition every day, the National Geographic Family Reference Atlas of the World, fifth edition, is absolutely perfect for my needs. It is meticulously and thoughtfully designed to make it very easy to find countries and to present in an easy to read format essential facts about each country printed on the same page as the map of the country. I would give this 100 stars if I could. The maps are very easy to read, unlike the very difficult to read maps in the Oxford Essential World Atlas, eighth edition.

The content, paper quality, and print are all exceptional, especially for the price! I absolutely love this atlas.

Loved this purchase. This book is beautiful and full of details on the various maps. Some of the print is too small for me to read, so I use my magnifying glass and/or take pictures with my camera and blow it up. It satisfies my need to locate countries and cities around the world.

It is big and will provide lots of enjoyment. in addition it came wrapped in plastic which all books should be of this caliber.

I have not experienced the problems with the binding others have had. This is a quality product with tons of reable maps and informative stats and data. A great tool for bucket planning.

My husband is an avid reader and always looks up maps of places in the storyline. The problem was that he was using a huge atlas from the 1960’s. Our 5 year old grandson got a USA Atlas for Christmas and they enjoyed looking at it together! It occurred to him that “maybe” he should upgrade his atlas, too! So, I showed him the newest features and options and he finally settled on this one and I had time to order it in time for Christmas! He loves all the features and we are learning so much !

Would highly reccomend this book for history lovers

Bought it as a coffee table book. We always had world atlases growing up. We would spend hours looking through them. When I got this i was so happy. I spent hours looking through it and am now reading through it. Cover is well made, pages are thick. Pictures are great. Text and graphics are easy to understand.A must for a house with children.
