Big Road Atlas for Europe (Abingdon, OX14)
Gifted
274d
- As it says this is a big road atlas for Europe. It is almost A3 in size and has maps of northern and southern Europe. I think the scale of the main maps is 1:1000 000 1cm=10km. It is a few years out of date but I suspect the main roads haven't changed much and most of the cities will still be in the same places!
