Compiled with the authority and attention to detail that you would expect from the world's best-selling news and current affairs magazine, the almanac contains over a million answers to up-to-the-minute facts.
This book is good to use as a reference when you want to look up some event that happened or info about a celebrity. Definitely worth buying.

I brought this for my little nephew for X-mas. It's packed of information and knowleade. Good for both kids and adults!
Great but font too small...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
It is a great source of information, so handy! I used to buy it every two years or so. In 2003, I bought the Almanac of "Encyclopedia Britannica" for a change, and I regretted it because the size of the characters was too small. This year, I ordered again The Time Alamanac and I realized it was "powered by Encyclopedia Britannica"...and again with a very small font that does not make it easy to read. One more detail: it is also worth buying the hardcover version, for a book you grab constantly!
