Customer Reviews

An almanac with feeling

This is an almanac with a heart. Check out the amazing photos. Lots of pop culture mixed in with the typical almanac statistics. Though the thumb indexes make it easy to use for those with more serious needs, I had fun just flipping through it and found it hard to put down once I picked it up.

Very useful and entertaining

This book seems to offer a lot of information attractively presented. I found it easy to use and full of fun facts, and it was relatively inexpensive. Whenever I use it to look something up, I find myself unable to put it down!

Great for Homework, Crosswords, General Reference

This almanac is very accessible and is useful for solving crosswords, getting quick information about countries and U.S. states, science information, and sports statistics. The photos are great. The maps are legible. It's well-designed and well-organized.
