Pocket World Atlas ReviewThis is an excellent and handsome pocket world atlas that I keep in my backpack whenever I'm travelling overseas. The maps themselves are fantastic, except for the USA. The problem is that the state boundaries are drawn with such a lightly-coloured red that you can't make them out. Adding to the difficulty is that the major highways are drawn with a dark red, further obscuring the states. The map of the north-east USA, for example, is practically illegible. This problem doesn't occur for other countries since the US is the only country with so many major internal states. The maps of other continents have a nice thick red line separating countries, which is important for Africa and Europe.
It contains a pretty thorough gazetteer, showing the flag and some details of the world's countries (although some info may be out of date by the time you buy this; Afghanistan, for example, is detailed as saying "war is raging between the Taliban and the remainder of the government nations"). The book also contains small street maps of 20 cities across the world, including NY, Paris, London, Tokyo, etc. but they didn't include Los Angeles, Budapest, Prague, Beijing, Shanghai, or Moscow for some reason (but they do have Amsterdam and Brussels??). The page edges are gilded with a gold-like appearance. Really nice. Since I keep my book in my backpack all the time, I put it in a ziploc bag to keep the gilding from wearing out.
Except for the problem with the states of the USA, this is an excellent book due to its appearance and small size. The poorly drawn maps of the USA aren't a big deal to me since I have larger reference atlases at home I use to look up funny little imaginary states like "Arkansas."Pocket World Atlas Overview
