Hammond Explorer World Atlas

Summary: Wonderful
Review: I bought this atlas based exclusively on recommendations I read here at Amazon.com. You wont be disappointed. This atlas has everything you will need and more for daily use. It is well bound, fits in a backpack, and is put together with extreme attention to detail and usability. The recommendations you find here are certainly valid. Unless you're a professional geologist or something, this atlas is quite sufficient for families, students, and the general masses.

Summary: Great atlas....amazing that it is so inexpensive
Review: The Hammond Explorer World Atlas is incredible. I first bought the 1993 edition of the Explorer World Atlas. For U.S., I buy Rand McNally, but when it comes to world atlases, Hammond is the way to go. The maps are detailed, and the reference guide for individual countries is wonderful.

Summary: Great , but it doesnt include Puerto Rico's flag
Review: This atlas is great. I just bought it and Im amazed with it contents. The only thing is that it doesnt include the flag and reference guide of Puerto Rico. I hope this have been an edition mistake and for newer editions can be put right.
