 Shame to Oxford for poor quality control --or worse... February 16, 2008
5 out of 10 found this review helpful
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.
 Christmas for Dad February 15, 2008
Gave this to my 60 year old father for Christmas. He loves maps, reference books, etc. He said this is an excellent atlas with great pictures and info.
Outstanding February 5, 2008
An absolutely beautiful product. Much more than I expected. Includes folding map of world, atlas maps are great topographicals, and it includes the most breathtaking aerials imaginable.
 Dick's Review of Oxford's Atlas January 23, 2008
The Oxford Atlas of the World is a fine reference book and a splendid volume for just browsing. Inclusion of satellite photography adds interest and context to the usual geography in many atlases. More of this could be done in future editions.
Indexing is complete and user friendly.
Atlas maps appear to be complete and accurate although the gradation of colors delineating ocean depths and land elevations cannot always be clearly interpreted. A more pronounced difference in colors would help.
The above are relatively minor suggestions as this is a fine atlas.
Successful experience! January 21, 2008
Very good quality of service! The product arrived fast and in excelent condition! Congratulations for your excelent service!
