Updated with 2010 Census Figures!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Rand McNally 2013 Atlas for the three countries has some great qualities. I postponed a year to get an updated atlas because I also wanted the most current census figures from 2010.
The Atlas is easy to use and similar to one that I bought years ago. I wished that the editors would consider updating the colors and highlighting some of the features and adding more landmarks such as cemeteries into the maps as well.
There are some omissions and mistakes like Brick Township, New Jersey which is a heavily populated shore town in Ocean County. I looked for it in the index section where it should have been listed and wasn't. Apart from this small mistake, I hope they could correct it for 2014 Atlas.
I also noticed that Studio City in California was also omitted from the index and map regarding Los Angeles, California.
As for the this atlas, I enjoy looking at the maps for my own amusement and learning about the other states, Mexico, and Canada.

The best printed atlas for general usage
Aug 9 2012
By Sitting in Seattle
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've ordered a new copy since previous review of the 2012 version. They're mostly identical except for updated census figures and a few map updates -- not enough to warrant an update in itself, but I needed another copy for another location.
I periodically check out atlases and find the Rand McNally to be the most useful for general reference and highway driving. The maps are clear and have the kind of attention to fonts and cartography that minimizes confusion and has a good level of detail for the scale. I think this size (this the large, almost newspaper size format) is the best one for reading and reviewing in a car, but too large for (say) most backpacks or bookshelves (turn it sideways).
In short, if you want an atlas, this is as good as ever.

No surprises...if you've owned an atlas before, it's probably like this one. Seems well constructed, should last awhile. Good value.
