Summary: UNWORTHY OF THE NAME: "BRITANNICA"
Comment: At nearly 1200 pages, this book seemed promising. It boasts of a variety of 'archivable' information. But, the fact that its editors chose to include outdated statistics in it surprised me. Some of these data are more than fifteen years old!
The compilers of "Encyclopaedia Britannica", (who also handled this Almanac), have access to one of the most current and the most versatile infobase in the world. And, I wonder why they refused to let this Almanac live upto its name.
This inexplicable reason makes it hard for me to recommend this Almanac.
Rating: 5
Summary: An almanac with feeling
Comment: 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.
Rating: 5
Summary: Very useful and entertaining
Comment: 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!
