The Ambassador opens with a full spread endpaper index map. Before that, one notices that this atlas is thumb-indexed (10 notches). It gives the largest display to the political maps, expediting place location. Physical details, agriculture, industry and resources are provided with smaller inset maps. Places are indexed with the main map, with their population and zip code. Places also appear in the gazeteer along with zip for the US. A reasonable compromise between price, size, and comprehensiveness. For an exhaustive description see the Gold medallion in General reference books for adults , Bowker 1988.
