Jethro Lennox, Geo Publishing Manager presented Sir David Attenborough with the latest edition of our Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World earlier this week.

Sir David took a break from signing copies of his personal view of the natural world Life Stories at our HarperCollins Bishopbriggs offices, to receive the atlas.

He charmed the crowd and said how he loved the Times Comprehensive Atlas and was especially delighted now he had the most up to date edition. He had a collection of atlases at home, but what he liked about the Comprehensive edition was the index - its sheer size when compared to other atlases. He flicked through atlas index and said “Now, THAT'S what you call a gazetteer”.

Sir David joked he was planning his next trip and would be taking the huge atlas with him. He was genuinely thrilled to get the atlas and spent a good few minutes flicking through it before resuming the book signing.

Later on asked how the signing session was going, the Customer Services manager said “I just couldn’t get him to stop reading that atlas”.
