1.		World Atlas (DK World Atlas) from DK Publishing (Dorling Kindersley) Price: £22.78 Customer Review: If there is just one Atlas you would like to own, then the DK Atlas is probably the best choice you will make. The print quality and resolution is simply superb, and the large format makes even the smallest of features and places legible. The atlas has an excellent index and the format is easy to... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Atlas of the Civil War from Perseus Books,U.S. Price: £8.99 Customer Review: James McPherson didn't write the 'Atlas of the Civil War'. He did, however, write introductory essays to each year of the war, as well as prologues and epilogues. They're fantastic: well-written and -argued, with lavish full-page pictures, and although there's too little reflection on certain issues... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		The Penguin Atlas of World History: From Prehistory to the Eve of the French Revolution v.1: From Prehistory to the Eve of the French Revolution: From ... Revolution Vol 1 (Penguin Reference Books) from Penguin Price: £6.99 Customer Review: I bought directly volume 1 and 2 of the Penguin Atlas of World History. Big mistake! The maps are demoded and the text is in an unappealing tiny script. No wonder because it is a reprint of an old book. They should have read Tufte's magnum opus on the display of information before republishing it.... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		New Worlds: Maps from the Age of Discovery from Quercus Publishing Plc Price: £18.57 Customer Review: Many High Street bookshops are displaying this book with a £50 price-tag, 'reduced for a limited period to £25', so Amazon's price is particularly attractive. Warning: this book is tall and wide, so you'll be struggling to find a slot for it on your usual bookshelf. The antiquarian... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Rome (Penguin Historical Atlases) from Prentice Hall Price: £5.99 Customer Review: If you want a detailed atlas of history, for goodness sake buy Colin McEvedy's fantastic series of books. The new Historical Atlases are an immense step backwards from there. They have lots of glossy pictures, but the narrative is very lightweight and jumps about annoyingly.

6.		The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Egypt (Penguin reference) from Penguin Price: £11.89 Customer Review: It's an excellent overview and it's not as in-depth as some of the study books on my list I've been reading throughout my first two years studying Egyptology. Would be an excellent book for someone who wanted an introduction into Ancient Egyptian History, it has some lovely detailed maps... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Penguin Atlas of World History: From the French Revolution to the Present v. 2 (Penguin Reference Books) from Penguin Price: £6.99 Customer Review: I bought directly volume 1 and 2 of the Penguin Atlas of World History.

8.		Bacon's Up-to-Date Map of London 1902 from Old House Books Price: £6.49 Customer Review: This was described as a 'very detailed map' . I found it quite disappointing that such an interesting object is so poorly reproduced. Much of the fine detail , street names in particular , is quite indistinct. Whether this is due to the printing process or initial copying of the original... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Historical and Curious Maps (Agile Rabbit Editions) from Agile Rabbit Price: £11.49 Customer Review: If your answer to the above question is 'yes' then this book is for you. A 'Look Inside' function would have been handy for this book's amazon page to see some examples, but the whole book is essentially a collection of old / rare / eccentric / unusual maps, of cities, regions, countries and the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Civilizations (Penguin Historical Atlas) from Penguin Price: £9.09 Customer Review: This atlas is very comprehensive for its size, giving global coverage. The text is clear and readable and the maps are good. One small criticism is that photos are not always shown to best advantage because of their small size. At the modest price, however, this book is excellent value - you do get... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
