Texas Atlas by Delorme
I modrately used the book two weeks and entire pages came out of the book. The atlas has good detail with mapping, however the quality of the material or workmanship is very bad. The paper is breaking at the binding on several pages. I DO NOT recommend this product.

I use them until they fall apart and then get another. I have been through several of these. I purchased another brand after my last one fell apart. Used it once and did'nt like it. This is the best Texas Atlas made. The blowups and details of the metro areas make it particularly valueable.

Fills a niche for travellers needing more detail on statewide scale
The scale and topography shown are helpful in finding a destination, but there is no way to show enough labels at this level, so while county roads are shown, they are not labelled. This is a very useful atlas if you want a general reference to find your way around on state and county roads across the state. Since it covers the whole state it lacks the level of detail required for some areas, particularly densely populated ones that don't have detail maps included. For those you are better off using city maps, or online sources such as USGS topos or web based maps to drill down. (It should also be possible to find more detailed county maps locally. )

There are essentially 3 scales of maps needed: statewide major route maps, statewide maps with county roads, detailed county/city maps. This atlas falls in the middle category, and includes topography. .
