Customer Reviews

Not what they advertise it to be...
This year I purchased the "New York Times Almanac," rather that "The World Almanac," which I purchase every year. What a disappointment. On the cover they claim it's "the world's most comprehensive almanac," but it doesn't have half the information that "The World Almanac" does. I've learned from my mistake. I buy an almanac so I can have all the information I need in one place. To my mind, an incomplete almanac like this one is a waste of money.
