Hammond World Atlas

If you're looking for illustrations of country flags, as I was, you can skip this atlas. There are none. Zero. I have to refer to my 1988 Hammond Atlas to see flags, and that is largely outdated. Otherwise it's a good atlas. High quality maps and other useful information. Best value for the money, if you don't care to see country flags.

The Hammond World Atlas is one of the best atlases available - and at a reasonable price. It is computer-generated and is one of the most colorful atlases. The shading is also exceptionally accurate and amazing. The satellite section shows a variety of environments, and they are all large, clear, and colorful. The cities are labeled by population, a useful feature. The thematic section is also quite fun to read. The map projections and relief are extremely consistent. Depending on your needs, either the Oxford or Hammond is the best one for you, or buy them both!

This is an excellent atlas.
