Just as good as the other almanac

Although less expensive and less well known, this almanac is every bit as good as the World Almanac and Book of Facts. The two actually complement one another, so don't expect the same facts, just a set of facts that either way are entertaining and informative. Very enjoyable 'brain candy' when one is otherwise paused for a few minutes, and I suppose useful, too, as a reference work, although my interaction with it was browsing-based.

Keeping up with the "Times"

I was introduced to the New York Times Almanac during the 1990's when a copy was sent to me by friends in Philadelphia. Ever since, I have been buying updated versions every few years as I have found this one of the best reference books on every imaginable topic. It is an invaluable aid in solving many of the clues in crosswords. The latest issue for 2010 is an excellent reference book and will take a prominent place on my bookshelf.The New York Times Almanac 2010: The Almanac of Record
