Still the Gold Standard

Like the 1999 version of same, this Statistical Abstract is the gold standard of reference books--far more statistics than the World Almanac or its private competitors, in about the same number of pages. Only in the Statistical Abstract can you learn things like: the budgets of individual states, crime rates of individual cities, and economic data about foreign companies. How does the Census Bureau do it? They cut out the drivel about celebrities' birth dates, the Year in Review, etc. -- and pass the savings on to you in the form of additional hard data! If you are the sort of person who likes to have a reference book by his or her bedside (and if you aren't, you probably aren't reading this anyhow) then buy the Statistical Abstract.
