For a straightforward geographical atlas in English, if you have the money
(beg if necessary), buy the Times Atlas of the World, presently on sale at
Amazon for just over $150. That's the biggest and the best, hands down. If
you can't afford that, there is a concise edition for less money. If you
want to spend considerably less money, there are any number of various
editions of world atlases available from Rand McNally, National Geographic,
Hammond and Oxford University Press which should all do the job. I have a
particular fondness for the RM Goode's World Atlas ($36) because it includes
an especially wide variety of thematic maps.

Hope this helps.

If we wanted to get a really good, comprehensive World Atlas that has
recently been published, which one would this group suggest? Just
wondering since all ours are over 10 years old and I have to come up
with reference suggestions by the end of the week. Thanks much. Joan
