    THE TIMES Altas of the World Comprehensive Edition 1968 - Extra Lg Pages & Maps
    Up for sale is a is very lush atlas printed in London in 1968 titled THE TIMES ATLAS OF THE WORLD Comprehensive Edition.  The pages are large, a little less that 12" X 18".  There's also an extensive index of cities and places etc to help find them faster.  Of course all this information is on-line now but taking photos and looking at this right now reminded me of how fun and educational a map can be--you discover things you weren't looking for and it leads to looking up more things.  It's really a great thing for a student who has been raised on computers to discover.  This edition was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II.   This volume is marked on the inside cover with a label as "property of Charles I. Schneider".  Mr. Schneider was a friend of mine.  He was a very successful businessman and a self made millionaire in Southern California.  He lived in Beverly Hills, was a dashing gentleman who even occasionally dated stars such as Angie Dickinson.  The cover of the book has moderate wear.  The pages are in nice condition.  Two of the index pages are folded on the edge and I straightened them out.  This substantial volume weighs 9.5 pounds.
    *Please note that my shipping time is up to 5 business days as I have multiple jobs and can only ship one day a week.  If you happen to purchase after I return from the post office on shipping day it will be a full week wait until I am able to ship again.  But most people will have a much shorter wait and some will have very fast shipping.  No one will have to wait more than 5 business days.  Thank you for understanding.
