This late note from Debbie Gibbons at National Geographic Partners: I can't speak for atlases that do new editions each year, I believe Oxford is one. We do *reprints* each year or as needed and mostly just fix any errors that have been found. Every 5 years or so we do new *editions* and those are completely reinvented—new design, new content (new thematic and reference spreads), all spreads updated with new geography and data as needed, updated boundaries, capitals, etc. At a minimum we create 7 new reference spreads although with the last one we did 17 brand new spreads and we had 5 brand new thematic spreads with all others receiving major overhauls. Hope this is helpful. Nat Case INCase, LLC, Minneapolis.
