HarperCollins has turned to Sigloch Buchbinderei in Blaufelden, Germany, to bind the new edition of <i>The Times Comprehensive Atlas</i> due to its size.

The atlas is 450x310mm and is being promoted by the publisher as being as big as a coffee table.

This is the first fully CTP edition since the atlas conception in 1967.

Printing also took place at a German company, Aprinta. The cover features bronze foil blocking on the front and spine. The books pagination is 544pp.
