    Great reference Book

    The material is up to date. I use it for crossword puzzle reference and to verify the information that we hear on the TV.

    Great reference

    An amazing load of information is packed into the pages of this paperback book! I buy an almanac every year and put it in the reference section of my school's library, and leave it there for 7 years, then change it over to the circulating shelves. Kids still use ALL the almanacs in the library once they discover all the helpful information in each one. The short country profiles and statistics are used the most, but they also like the sports records and science sections. This is a lot cheaper than a bound yearbook to an encyclopedia, yet has even more information. Useful to have in your home, too, and what a bargain!

    Facts to do Crossword Puzzles by.

    I use this book all the time when I am doing the NY Times Crossword Puzzle. They have made some changes in the format from the 2008 and before editions, some of which I like and some of which I don't. They have left out sections on colleges and cities and towns.
