Summary: Everyone Should Own A Copy
Review: I bought this book as a "millennium keepsake." I'd never read The World Almanac before, and I was amazed by how much information it has. I think there's something for everyone here, no matter what your age, profession, or interest. Go buy a copy now!

Summary: Brilliant as always! An indispensable tool for every office
Review: I've long considered the World Almanac and Book of Facts to be the single most useful one-volume general reference book available for home and office. The World Almanac and Book of Facts for 2000 is called the "Millennium Collector's Edition," and lives up to this billing without the slightest trace of hype. The hard cover edition is large, very attractive, and filled not only with the usual collection of thoroughly researched of facts, figures, and events past and present, but is also enhanced with color photographs, maps, and special sections covering the new millennium. Printed on high quality paper and in a slightly larger print size than its paperback counterpart, it's very easy to use and makes great browsing. Highly recommended!

Summary: The content is good, but the cover is bad.
Review: This book is amazing. It contains all the facts you would ever want to know. The one problem with it is the cover. When I got it, in about a month the cover started to tear and the binding started to break. Hopefully they will fix this or make a hardcover edition.
