Customer Reviews

A five year review.

Have been using the Chambers Book of Facts close to daily, for about 5 years and found it very useful, rather essential in solving crossword puzzles. It was getting somewhat getting out of date and the new issue contains so much more useful and practical information. I would be lost without it and coukld do without it.
