5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the bunch., 31 May 2007
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
There are factfinders, books of facts and even treasuries of the same name. I have several. True, some will have entries that others have omitted and none have them all.

What I need is to put my hand on a "fact" at the very moment I am in the middle of writing some important piece without having to unduly search for that item of information. Having "sections" which deal with a plethora of different subjects seem (to me at least) as though the publishers want the reader to have fun finding what it is they are look for.

Not so with this publication. It is a straight-forward no-nonsense book of facts set in alphabetical order from beginning to end. So, if you want to see the entry for, say, "Lithuania" you will find it between Lithography and Litmus. Similarly, if you are looking for "Nelson" you will discover there are towns of that name in England and New Zealand as well as there being an Admiral who was fairly successful.

In short; Simple, straightforward, easy to use, excellent.
