"Hammond's Ambassador World Atlas and Gazetteer?, published by C.S. Hammond, Maplewood, New Jersey, First Edition, Fifth Printing January 1957 [1st printing was issued July 1954]

Hard boards, original publisher’s cloth [a little wear, a small damage spine between spine and front board: see photo]; 10.1/2" x 14.1/2"; there is a pocket with a large fold-out map of the world inside front cover; illustrated endpapers, the surface of the front endpaper is damaged; 416 pages including 160 pages of maps + World Index and Gazetteer of Cities; very good condition.

"They just don't make books like these anymore. And the net has not made up for it. The extreme detail that went into each etching and character of type is shocking, in contrast with what's produced in books today, despite extreme advances in conveniences for map makers and graphic designers. This book contains hundreds of beautiful maps showing the nature of our terra firma (earth) not long after it was partitioned for the great powers after World War II. Amazing and everyone should have one." [a private review]
