In Review: Pergamon World Atlas

This review assesses the 1968 Pergamon World Atlas. The reviewer praises its removable fold-out maps and relief coloring but identifies fragile paper, awkward placement of country information and city maps, missing scales, inconsistent place names, incorrectly mapped roads, and the omission of Quemoy and Matsu. Coverage favors Europe, the Soviet Union, and China, with less detail for North America. The reviewer concludes that its inaccuracies do not justify its price and advises against general school, library, or business use.
