A good atlas is partly in the eye of the beholder as well as in the contents and indexing. A few that I deemed worthy of ordering in the last 18 months or so: Title: INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARIES: A GEOPOLITICAL ATLAS.

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.
