Customer Reviews

Whitaker's Almanack 2009
Whitaker's Almanack 2009 (as) ever is an indespensible handbook of everyting you would ever need to know. No reference Library of Office is complete without it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who runs an office as it provides invluable information on all aspects of official life from The Royal Household, Embassies, Government Offices and private institutions, clubs, schools and publications. My life would be a nightmare without the help of Whitaker's Almanack!

Excellent
Miss the info on politicians greed, otherwise as expected.
It is definetely British in approach, which makes it a needed compliment to the World Almanac and Book of Facts
