Great Atlas, as usual, Mar 23 2006
By Roger D. Surbaugh - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rand McNally the Road Atlas U.S./Canada/Mexico (Paperback)
I have been a loyal user of Rand-McNally Road Atlases for more than 20 years. They are light-weight, sturdy, well designed, comprehensive, (and most importantly),they have great maps that are ACCURATE and UP TO DATE!
The 2006 edition is no different, except that it comes with a strong vinyl cover (which also doubles as a handy file pouch for brochures, receipts, tickets,etc.) and a newly formatted index of cities, counties and states, with up-to-date population estimates, and easily understood indices.
The choice of lavender and purple highlights and overtones for the index can make reading the small font sizes a little tricky (especially if you suffer from "old eyes", as I do). But this is a trivial complaint; by and large, the 2006 Rand-McNally Road Atlas is the best deal you will find. If you buy it, you won't be sorry.

Excellent copy, Oct 24 2005

The vinyl covering is a removable piece, like a book's dust jacket. Doesn't look like it'll come off on it's own though (the pockets are very deep). You could probably store direction printouts in those pockets, or other paperwork you might want to keep with a map. It is quite large, which makes it easier to read.

Rand McNally receives a thumbs up, Aug 2 2005

This review is from: Rand McNally Gift Road Atlas (Map)
I bought this atlas for my boss who is on the road a lot. This atlas is accurate, detailed, and the words are ledgable.
The vinyl cover is nice for protecting the pages.
