Purchased for reference when doing crosswords, I didn't read every little thing in here, but a substantial part of it. Math charts, population figures, popular directors, author's, area, spiritual beliefs, symbols--a handy little compendium--even foreign phrases commonly used--for knowledge that you are going to need when doing crosswords.
