Rand McNally Presents:
The OLD WORLD from A NEW ANGLE
It is not enough today to know what is happening. Where it is happening, and why it affects you are the most vital questions- to which the Rand McNally READERS WORLD ATLAS provides the answers in its 190 pages of new, full-color maps. New census figures highlight the 86-page universal index.
COMPLETE HANDY-SIZE ATLAS
Specially designed for easy handling, the READERS is just the right size for quick reference while you are reading. It fits in your bookshelf at home or in the office. As essential today as your dictionary, the READERS WORLD ATLAS is a compact treasury of vital information. It contains the same magnificent maps which formerly appeared only in the COSMOPOLITAN WORLD ATLAS.
NEW CENSUS EDITION
The completely new maps and index make the Rand McNally READERS a truly contemporary atlas. New census figures–not only for the United States but for 35 foreign countries, including Germany, France, Japan, and Great Britain-bring the 86-page index completely up to date.
EXTRA LEGIBLE FOR EASY READING
Distinctive multi-color maps in the modern tone add beauty to the atlas and enhance its legibility. Special emphasis is placed on clear, clean type faces, making the maps easy to read in spite of the vast amount of data they contain.
