Synopsis
Americans turn to Times Books for the best in atlases. Since the 19th century, the cartographic firm of John Bartholomew has produced them by hand, collecting and verifying data from every conceivable source to compile as accurate a picture of the world as it is possible to create. This first truly new atlas in a generation is essential for any school, home or office library.

From School Library Journal
This is not simply an abridged version of its older sibling, the Times Ninth Comprehensive Edition. Of course, the Concise Edition doesn't have the same detail as the larger atlas. But it does contain a remarkably well chosen and detailed set of maps. The physical quality and design is second only to that of the Times Comprehensive. The maps lay almost perfectly flat when the atlas it opened and a clear gap is provided whenever a map runs across the gutter, ensuring no loss of information. The paper stock is ideal: heavy, tear-resistant, non-absorbent, and non-reflective. There are a few flaws: the information in the beautiful new metropolitan maps is not in the index, and the ocean floor maps are disappointing compared to the stunning ones in the National Geographic. But overall this atlas is a delight to the mind and senses and the best of the group behind Rand McNally and Times.
