The Best Dish on Bush

You don't have to be Texan to appreciate the latest and greatest edition of The Texas Almanac. The book is chock full of interesting information about the Texas Rangers (the law enforcement group, not Bush's former baseball team), as well as bits of trivia that make you wonder why George W. would ever want to leave the second largest state in the US.The almanac also has plenty of helpful facts, such as the climate, weather disasters and population of each county in the Lone Star State.This book is great for anybody, but is a must for every journalist and television news analyst who intends to interview the governor of Texas on his presidential bid.

Texas for the millenium

What a find! From environmental information to history to state government, the Texas Almanac has it all. The book lists helpful information for natives and visitors, from the National Wildlife Refuges to facts on Texas tourism and the info on hunting and fishing licenses. Also available are little factoids, such as the the brief period in history that the Texas Capital was actually a steamboat and the history of oil in the Lone Star State. A must for anyone who wants to know more about the state!

Texas Almanac -- Millennium Edition

Little Dallam County (pop 5891) has the highest per capita income in the state of Texas? San Antonio is the second largest city in Texas?, ahead of Dallas!

This edition features a concise history of the Texas Rangers, an improved layout of all 254 counties and the all important, "Texas Pronunciation Guide". If you are a glutton for minuet facts about Texas you will enjoy the Millennium Edition of the Texas Almanac.
