I’m looking for a world atlas. I’ve seen all different types for sale at all sorts of prices. Could you tell me what you use or highly recommend?
Thank you.

A modern one or historical one?

Ummmm, that’s a good question. I guess we’d be looking at a modern one but if you had a historical one to recommend I would certainly keep it in mind. We love looking over maps.

I am looking at Map Trek… they have one that looks great, but I haven’t seen it in hand…
(historical… but I think it has a basic modern one within it…)

I like the looks of Map Trek (keeping this resource in the back of my mind) and I do have the old version Blackline maps which didn’t include the atlas but right now I think we are looking for something more current.
Any more suggestions from those of you who love maps?

Just to clarify; you’re looking for a book atlas, not a collecton of blank maps, right?
My atlases were given me by my parents. They are rather extensive, encyclopedic really. They are:
World Reference Atlas by DK
and
Atlas of America by Reader’s Digest
We also have a Children’s Atlas of the World, but my children are less interested in that one as they are in the big ones.
HTH,

Yes, I am looking for a book atlas. I borrowed my father’s-in-law but we hardly use it because I’m afraid the children will damage it. The one I’ve considered getting is the Rand Mcnally World Atlas which is around $50 but was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations.
