Since it's first edition in 1967 it has sold over 1 million copies. The 10th edition, published in 1999, was the first completely new edition of the atlas since its introduction.

The reference maps, produced in the distinctive and authoritative Times style, present the most accurate and up-to-date representation of our knowledge of the earth today. The areas shown, and the scale and map projection of each plate, have been specifically chosen to give the best representation of each geographical area. The maps now include a brand new map of the world’s physical features. The gazetteer-index to over 200,000 place names and geographical features illustrates the unique scope of the atlas.
