Old Faithful March 17, 2010
Frank Forman (Chevy Chase, MD USA)
I've been getting almanacs every year since I was in the sixth grade in 1955. My first one was Information Please and don't recall my first World Almanace and Book of Facts. But that became my favorite and I have been buying it every year since. I have one from 1899 that I fetched from Sarah's family farm. Fun to read! Bookfinder has copies for $63, $129, and $499.

My friend in Australia has got a "Book of Facts" from the year 2003 and he tried everything to get a newer ones in Australia. That was not successful. So I managed to get the one I've ordered in USA via amazon.com
That will be his birthday present. To be able to find things like that by a mouse click is really great!
I recommended amazon.com to all my friends in Namibia were I live and in Germany were I was born.

My third edition of The World Almanac. I enjoyed 2006 and 2008. I purchase a new every 2 years. Hard to put down if you enjoy facts of the world. I particularly enjoy watching how the worlds tallest buildings change with each issue.
