Perhaps this has happened to many of you when you are purchasing atlases?
You look at the title and think, sure that would be good for the collection.
Recently, I ordered "Atlas of Eastern Europe in the 20th century" and when
it arrived I was very disappointed. It is not what I would call an atlas but
rather a text with some maps. For $90 Cdn, I returned it.
So, how do you define an atlas? Simply a bound book of maps? Or a certain
percentage of the entire book?
