Valuable Reference

I use both THE NEW YORK TIMES ALMANAC and THE WORLD ALMANAC as references. The strengths of the former are its articles on world energy, the global economy and the global military situation. As a big fan of the movies, I find its lack of biographical data on celebrities and actors to be an annoying weakness.

much better than the other guys

I'm a bit of an almanac afficionado, and the NYT Almanac -- in its organization, content and style -- beats the rest, hands down. More relevant facts, a logical layout, and even a readable typeface make this book an almanac lover's dream.

I thought this book was very exciting

A truly great work of fiction

This book is truly innovative. It gives us a view at the Aborigonies of Southern Djibouti. A must buy. Wright is a literal genius.
