I buy this every year January 8, 2009
for my daughter, but I think I may look at it more often than she does. Even with the internet it's handy to have. Can look up things while reading in bed!
a must have January 6, 2009
Even in the age of computers and Google, this book is a must. Hard to put down and one fact always leads to another.
Still worth it! December 31, 2008
In our house we fondly call this book "the sum of all human knowledge". Even with the internet, we still consult our almanac several times a week.
