Re. Darius Bartlett's question on a new Hammond atlas, I
suspect it's the same one mentioned in the July 1993 issue
of Geographical Magazine, p. 42...the new Oxford-Hammond
Atlas of the World (retail price L37.50), which is the
first world atlas to be created entirely from a digitised
database...uses a new projection--the Optimal Conformal.
