 Larger than I thought, but very helpful August 13, 2010

I ordered this atlas because it was much less expensive than the exact same one at a local bookstore. I like it because it has strong plastic "wire" binding, making it stay open easily. Also, it has lots of city maps on the same pages as the states. More than my old one. The only problem with it is that most states take up 2 or 3 pages. "Northern Illinois, Southern Illinois, Eastern Tennessee, Western Tennessee, etc. This makes for large print and lots of details, but all the page splits and turning of pages make it hard to view at times. But I like it a lot. And it has lots of helpful tourist information.

unlike most road atlases, this is USA only. I agree with other reviewers that there should at least be some overlap of maps on the edges as it is difficult to follow from one map to another. Plastic ring binding might not have been the best choice for something that may sit in a vehicle during the winter, and the covers ought to be a bit more durable or laminated as just from leafing through the atlas the covers have already started to fold where one's fingers grip while thumbing through to find the appropriate page. Beyond that, it seems to be an adequate atlas and larger scale is appreciated, though don't expect any comparison to a delorme state atlas in detail.

All good surprises are worth a mention. My first was the speed this atlas was delivered by USPS. The second surprise was the quality package this atlas really is. I can't recall getting better value for money on anything. The pages are organised in alphabetical order according to State. The grid reference system used makes finding locations very easy.
Only two small critisms.
1. No overlap on most pages where maps continue from page to page, with the occasional exception.
2. Index font size could be larger for ease of reading.
Both these cons are no doubt in place to keep overall atlas size to a minimum & do not detract from the quality product. Well done Rand McNally.

We received the road atlas soon after we ordered it. The large scale maps are very easy to read and so far we are very pleased with it. We are using this atlas in our RV and find it very easy to store behind our seats.

This atlas has more detail and is great for trip planning. It is the best I've used.
