Customer Reviews

Excellent edition to any home library.

As one expects from Nat'l Geo, an excellent book that makes learning fun; a well written encyclopedia for students and non-students alike. In between pages on presidents, which include official portraits, are fascinating facts, over 400 illustrations, and much, much more.
