 Good, but ..., 2008-11-16
I have several of the Delorme atlases. They are all good, but all share a fatal flaw: there is no overlap of areas covered by different pages. The problem arises when the location of interest is on the border between two pages, or when the route of interest covers more than one page. It is not easy to follow the roads, and the user has to flip back and forth between the pages, which may not adjacent.
Many booklets of maps share this idiotic design, and I don't know of alternative booklets of topographic maps for this region -- all I can do is give the Delorme atlas only 3 stars (instead of 5) for unthinkingly doing the common thing. I guess it dates from the days when this kind of booklet was made by taking a pair of scissors to a large map on a single sheet of paper.
It would only add maybe a couple of pages to the total number of pages by doing it right and providing an overlap of a quarter of an inch or so around the border of each map. The intelligently-designed and user-friendly atlases that I have seen that do this even use shading to indicate the overlap.

Comprehensive but no macro-views!, 2008-02-08
We'll be using this atlas for an RV trip. Although we haven't yet done the trip, the maps look like what we need (detailed, topographic, forest/side roads). I will say that it's missing decent regional and statewide views. The Benchmark California Road & Recreation Atlas, Fifth Edition (Benchmark Road & Recreation Atlas) series does an excellent job of panning the state, and then drilling down. The Gazetteer series just has the drill-down. Makes it tough when you want to get a macro-view of your route.

 Great atlas, 2008-01-20
We've used this atlas for years, and we were happy to find an updated version. This is so handy for finding a way around accidents or construction on the highway, or for finding alternate directions to your destination. It includes road names and highway numbers.

 very disappointing, 2007-11-13
I bought this book to explore the national forest areas of North Carolina. I was very disappointed when I got the atlas to find that even the larger forest roads are not on the maps! The road map I picked up for free at the Welcome Center Rest Stop shows the roads as well as this atlas.

Delorme Quality with a lot of versatility, 2007-07-31
These are one stop maps. Just about anything you need to know to navigate an area on foot, motorcycle or car is on easy to read pages, provided you are not overwhelmed by details normally found on Topographic maps. If you are looking for a road atlas, buy one and leave these to those looking for a little more detail. Plenty of other useful info included such as park information, camping, fishing piers, boat ramps etc. The info varies by Gazetteer.
