Customer Reviews

Great book!

I was born in the year 1985 and I find this book very informative. In the front of the book there's a "U.S. Almanac 1985" that lists the years of's (like Halley's Comet Year), the U.S. populations, size of U.S., number of births and deaths, houses with tv sets, top crop, top movie, top spectator sport, etc. Then the book goes threw the year, day by day, and tells you at least one thing that happed on that day. Tucked on some pages there ar Fun Facts '85, Happy Birthday products, Inauguration Trivia, Inventions of 1985, Year of the Ox information, Top 10 Singles, '85 Awards Board, Hurricanes of 1985, Endangered Species of '85, and much more. This book would be great for anyone born in this year. I am 15 years old and I still look at it! I am sure the other books are just as good. (I know the '88 book is, since my brother was born in '88 and I have looked at it!)
