Mario Aguila Inostroza November 13, 2009 at 7:55 am: Comparado con el Atlas de la Britannica, este no tiene nada que hacer. La claridad de los mapas, que es la esencia del Atlas, es bastante superior en la Britannica. Poseo la edición del año 1994 y me parece superior.
Lo único que justifica la compra de este Atlas de la Oxford es que trae la información de geografía humana y política más actualizada. Además, lo interesante y útil de los pequeños planos o mapas de las últimas noticias mundiales (en este caso, medio oriente).
Si desea actualizar su Britannica, mejor espere la nueva edición de ese Atlas.

It’s a nice size, but towns are not as easy to find as other, larger maps. I have not yet had reason to use the printed information in the front and the back.

L. A. November 13, 2009 at 10:26 am: I just bought the Oxford Atlas for a Valentine’s present for my wife, and I just want to react to at least two parts of the book in which the cutting of the pages (with about 3 pages in each case) was defective and the extra width hidden by folding of the pages. I just didn’t want to go through the trouble and cost of sending it back to Amazon in exchange for a new one, but I was extremely angry and disappointed. It is not only poor quality control for what is supposed to be a high quality book (and Press), but a obviously a deliberate attempt (and a successful one) to sell it anyway. This is, of course, Oxford University Press’s fault, and Amazon has nothing to do with it.
