Customer Reviews

Outstanding value for money
As long as you can read (and evidently not everyone can) then you'll know what to expect: a jolly sturdy 7" tall mini-atlas which provides a useful and easy-off-the-shelf reference about general world locations. Nothing specific, mind. Nothing is shown on a national scale, but as a point of reference it's well worth the money.

The blurry writing below the word atlas on the cover
says COMPACT. I didn't realise this when I bought this item. The atlas is quite small! To give you an idea of size, when I looked up a St Etienne in France in the index, it gave me a grid reference which included almost all of France! I'm going to return it and get a bigger one.
