Customer Reviews

Excellent reference source, accesible and informative
This is a fine, compehensive reference work. Great for checking those pub quiz questions, resolving arguments or plugging those knowledge gaps.

disapointing
i brought this book expecting it to be packed with interesting information about people, but instead i found it to be lacking in certain information.
there are much better books out there that deal with the subject of people
so avoid this one.
