Reviews

[Sophie Crane · Rating 4 out of 5]

The only reference book I think any one could actually read from cover to cover, even the most uninteresting aspects of anything can become fascinating and educational.
This book is the best way I can think of to spend a whole day doing nothing while learning and being amazed at what's possible.

A nice walk down memory lane. Lots of interesting facts. It's funny because there's several predictions about 2015, largest cities, populations, etc. I'd love to look for a new 2015 edition ((if available) and compare the two!

I love facts. Bigs ones little ones and especially useless ones.
