"Heads up it's an atlas and thus atlas-sized, i.e. huge. I was expecting something more portable. However it appears to be quite definitive and I look forward to exploring the incredibly detailed pages. Not exactly practical for in the field but good for home study. If it was more handy I would give 5 stars. The reason size matters here is that this is a book intended for someone to use on the go or in an emergency maybe."

California Atlas Gazetteer DeLorme 9780899333830 Books Reviews
- Quite disappointed. I bought this CA map book to replace the much more desirable older version. Delorme decided to format this new map book for the entire state of California instead of splitting the state into two separate books like before. I knew right away I didn't like this new version, but at first thought it was because of the new "3D topography style". Too busy. But then I opened the old version right next to the new version. Instead of doubling the number of pages for the whole state version, DELORME SHRUNK THE MAP RATIO TO HALF THE SIZE TO SAVE PAPER COSTS!! When off-roading, one needs a nice tight government "topo" type map size. This new map book is just going to sit on my home's book shelf, while my beat up old version will still stay in the Jeep. What good does it do for an "off road" explorer, camper, or hunter to have an over-detailed and unclear map of the approximately 100 miles of the distance from San Bernardino to way past Palm Springs on one page opening, when what he needs is good, clear uncluttered map of the 20 miles around him? I am very disappointed.
- Delorme used to get 5 stars because of their hi quality and durable saddle-stitch topo map books. I am giving them 2 stars now for this sub-par perfect-bound new California book. The maps are ok - I knew they would cover more area per page than the old 1990s era Southern California book that I threw away before I got this new one. The maps are just as good as before, just a different scale. If it weren’t for that I’d give this ONE star because of the bindery. Only two uses during small one-day excursions this summer and during my second, you can see what happened in the photos. All the pages I was using just fell out after I opened the book to use them. I didn’t fold it back or anything abusive - in fact I was careful. Unfortunately this happened AFTER the return window. Hence this review. I wish I’d never thrown out that old book. After 20 years repeated use, more pages were still intact than this book with just 2 uses in 2 months. Delorme, if you read this, do the right thing and send me a refund.
- I've had the old north & south CA. for years, they were great & saved me so many times. I carried them everywhere until they finally gave out. Hard to believe they didn't upgrade and reprint. This looks like the old info. on a smaller scale and harder to use. It's better than nothing but not what it was by any stretch. Maybe if we all bug them........
GPS is great but there's nothing better than scanning a nice large page to see the lay of the land....and roads.....and trails. - I used to use delorme gazetteers for any state I was going to. So, recently we went to Yosemite and sequoia NP. I purchased the CA gazetteer and it was a huge pain in the butt to use. Good for big picture, bad for details.

- If you're a map person, as I am, this is a must have. My ONLY reservation is that it's unclear how dated the maps are? It says Fourth Edition 2015, but does that mean the maps were revised at that point? They need to make that clear. Overall, however, this is a must have if you like traveling the back roads and seeking out forgotten corners of the state.
- OK map
Good for those who keep to the roadside services.
Campgrounds are limited to the RV and resort types. - I like this book because it has great maps of roads and back roads. It is not like google maps, no instructions but this will be used in the event the grid goes down and we need to get around to new locations and need an easy way to see where we need to go. The roads are labeled easily enough to read. The book is large. My son loves maps too so he enjoys just following the roads.
