Bought this for AUD50 only when I travel to Sydney last year. What a bargain! I always love maps since I study to make one. A great collection for map lovers like me.

As a writer, I found this very useful for a book I’m writing at the moment which sees the main character travelling around the world.

This book is a gift from Switzerland ambassador, and he wrote 2 things on its cover. The first thing, for me as a friend and his teacher. and the 2ed interesting thing about the book: "This old Atlas traveled with me from Brussels to Congo to Zaire and South Africa, it's time for him to rest in Syria.

Even we now have a newest technology, as Google Earth, but some times I have nostalgia to use old ways. And thanks to my good friend Mr. Mayor.

OK so I haven't read it all. It's a doozey! We keep it in the lounge - propped against the wall. Come to think of it - it's big and sturdy enough to prop up the wall! It's a big, beautiful book - with maps n pictures and everything!

I have travelled a fair bit, fifty countries and counting. When I need inspiration, I pick up this weighty tome and flip the beautiful pages until my imagination settles on a rolling steppe, a spreading confluence or an exotic name. Then I book a flight and I go.

An inspiring book. I was lucky enough to win one of these beautiful books from British Airways, in a lovely slipcase, originally selling for over £100. It has been much admired and I turn to it for forays into the wonders of the world and where to travel next.

In my estimation, the Times is the best atlas on the market. I need to upgrade to the most recent edition, though.

This is one of the most spectacular atlases I have seen, full of information and enormous maps of each country and their states,departments, regions, provinces etc. Well worth £150 price tag ! ! !
