Known Issues with Bartholomew's Handy Reference Atlas of the World

Scanned Pages.

The maps and the index pages are mostly printed squarely on the pages of the book. However, this is not the case for many of the Geographical Statistics pages, where the text and the boxes that surround tables etc., are sometimes out of alignment in the original.

Where this occurs I have tried to make the text square to the page and ignored the boxes, because this appears to me to be easier to read on screen.

This copy is in excellent condition for its age, the Plates are bright and clear, the only small problem is some staining from the glue used at each page fold. This varies from map to map but never obscures the content.

I have found one small mistake in the list of countries. Corea (Korea) is shown as being on page 43, with China, in fact it is on page 44, with Japan.

The maps display at their best on a widescreen monitor with a high resolution. Scanned text pages look better on smaller screens with a lower resolution. I did not plan it that way round but since it seems that widescreen/high resolution is becoming more prevalent and the maps are the most important element, I am happy with the result. I hope you agree.
