Eh "Temporarily out of stock"

You can order and they'll send it when it's restocked

No, where there's a will, there's a relative:P

what's the difference in all the editions? reference, universal, comprehensive

batistuta9

found this about it on amazon in a review, in case anyone else is wondering

And this comprehensive one is the biggest, the heaviest, and the most comprehensive - here is a comparison list with all the others called "Times atlas of the world", as I was terminally confused. Until I did a bit of homework, and came up with the following: (all prices quoted from Amazon, October 2011)

The biggest is called COMPREHENSIVE, costs £80, is 47x32 cm, weighs a ton, has 125 map plates (not pages, as most spread over 2 pages) and a 217-page index.

The next is the CONCISE, costs £40, is 37x27 cm, has 105 plates on 198 map pages, and a 140-page index to 130,000 names. And 32 city maps, which is something the biggest lacks (apart from a few titchy ones on the main plates)!

The next is the UNIVERSAL, costs £ 28, is 32x27 cm, has 170 pages of maps (not plates - probably 90 plates), an index to 50,000 names, and 32 city maps.

The next is the REFERENCE, costs £25, has 104 pages of maps (not plates - probably 60 plates), an index to 45,000 names, and 46 city maps.

The next is DESKTOP, costs £ 13, 25x19 cm;
then the COMPACT, costs £ 8, 21x15 cm;
then the MINI, costs £ 5, 15x11 cm.

It is £3.99 now. About €4.50

I already got the comprehensive edition. Why do I feel the need to buy this, one as well! I blame the price.

Ordered at 4.99 so contacted amazon to get it corrected.. Thanks for OP and the update.

Greg81

Thanks OP. Just got one. First time using Parcel Motel. We will see how it works.

anyone else having trouble with amazon forcing two day delivery. for my £26 basket they are looking for £240 delivery costs!!!!

Just me by the looks. Amazon customer care is brilliant in fairness, unfortunately i missed out on that batch of atlas

Padraig Mor

Just a heads up. I ordered this when it was 'temporarily out of stock'. It's still listed as this; however, I've now been given a delivery estimate of approx 2 weeks, so it's possible they'll be in stock again soon.

Just want to say special thanks to the OP, fantastic atlas, wasnt expecting it to be so good for the price. the satellite photos at the beginning are great

maynooth_rules

Yep, very very happy with mine. Lovely to have on the coffee table.

No - try checking the REAL price sticker.

In Whitewater newbridge it was 42.99 + €10 off + it was in their 3 for 2.

So if you bought 3 books of similar value, the net cost per book would be €22 - about the same as Amazons current £16.65 price.

But sure why apply the special offer price of one store when not appling it suits a negative story better?

Say What now ?

The price in Eason's when I was buying another book was the price I quoted and attached. There was no discount offer, and no " 3 for 2" offer

I bought it for 6.00 euro off amazon so even at your suggested reduced rate it cost me 27% of the Eason's discounted price

I really don't get your tone, or your last sentence, but for clarity .. I referenced the actual price of the item when i was in an Eason's store on the weekend, and what I said was a reference to a POSITIVE story relating to the OP's original post.

You might need to find more significant things to complain about

It came today. I've only flicked through it but it looks to be amazing.
