The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World

Summary

Maurice Crewe reviews the eleventh edition of The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World (2003), describing its geographical introduction, 125 reference map plates, and glossary, gazetteer, and index covering over 200,000 names. He praises the maps’ clarity and the reference value of current place names, judging the atlas exceptionally authoritative, while noting its high price, bulk, weight, and difficulties of handling and storage.
