Summary: Way, way better than the Thomas Bros. Guide
Review: The only sad thing about this atlas (or actually about all atlases of the GM Johnson) is that for some reason they are not available in the bookstores in the Silicon Valley.I got my 1995 edition on a discount desk at Costco Mart and I liked it immediately. The colors are excellent, the size of the font and of the drawings are appropriate for reading contrary to the tiny, barely readable maps presented by the seemingly "only choice" on the shelf, the Thomas Bros Atlases. Especially I like the way in which the streets are being printed by GM Johnson using two dark borders and a white interior. Very good visible, serves well while driving. I retired my Thomas Guide immediately and forever. One weeknes which I see is a lack of a good indication when a particular page does not have a follow up to the left, right, up or down. Sadly, I never again found a newer edition of this book till I made some serious steps to find out if the company is still publishing maps. The phone numbers in my 1995 edition are all outdated. Finally as I contacted the Etak. Inc. (the maker of the digital map used in this atlas) I got a friendly hint from them to lookup the web for GM Johnson products. Well, it is indeed so easy now to find books, why haven't I looked a bit earlier at Amazon for the newer edition?
