    Filled with Errors

    For a book that is supposed to be a reference to specific statistical data from around the world, this Almanac for 2004 is completely useless. The information is so erroneous at times that it makes you question the other data presented. For example, the per capita income of a person in the Congo is given as $85 annually, whereas on the same page the per capita expenditure on the military in the Congo is given as $102. So according to this Almanac people pay taxes of 200% in the Congo. There are numerous other such errors which make the entire contents of this Almanac questionable and unreliable. Save your money, or get a more accurate almanac like the one by The World Almanac or Time.
