I just purchased 'The Pilots Free Flight Atlas' for the USA/Canada and Mexico. I normally fly in the UK and Europe (and have lots of charts for that area), but the OrbX NA scenery got me flying in the US a lot more. I didn't have any detailed charts for that area, and - as a casual flyer - I dont have the two screen moving map/FS set up that some others have.
Anyway, after looking around I found this atlas - and its quite useful. It covers the area at a scale of 1:2000,000 and includes over 6,000 airports in its 100+ colour map pages. The book itself is about A4 in size, softback and also includes airport lists etc in its nearly 200 pages. I bought mine from flightstore in the UK.
It might not be detailed enough if you only fly the PNW, but as a US/Canada airport altas, I find it useful. I just thought that I would share this info.
