Customer Reviews
An excellent facsimile
This book is a regular treasure trove for anyone interested in 1899/1900 and/or the period in general. It contains a list of the peerage, notes on insurance rates, list of the House of Lords, notes on the countries of the world, exchange rates, tides, etc etc. In short a small encyclopedia of useful facts if you lived in 1900.
It even includes the old commercials from the original edition, I find them almost as interesting as the almanac itself, some of them are for familiar products but others are for things like inkstands, and paper cutters.
If you have any interest in the late Victorian period, or the pre-WWI 20th Century, then this is definitely worth your while.
