This is one of my favorite books of all time. I got this book when I was younger as a Christmas present, and although at first I thought it was a lemon, I came to love it. It contains all sorts of information on an unbelievable number of differnet subjects, and it's all put together with a consistent style and flavor that is very appealing. I managed to find a copy of a 1980 hardcover at a used bookstore, and I prize it, and find myself repeatedly referring to it. It's a must-get if you can get your hands on it.
