Title: Very happy to have the larger, hardback issue of this Almanac!
Review: This is a great book! I have purchased these over the years but never the hardbound version. Larger format, seems text is larger, but the binding makes it a durable, long term investment. Makes it very enjoyable to leaf through this version because the pages are easier to read, the photos are vibrant, and the binding helps it to open "flatter" than the paperback version. This would make a great gift for the information hungry person in your life. A great alternate to being "logged in" every time you want to look up a fact, or just to browse information, maps, tables, etc.

Review: This item has always been a great resource for me throughout the years. I have been collecting them over the decades. Good to know that I get them from you. Thanks for keeping them in print (paper).

Title: Great handy reference
Review: I used to get one of these every year for Christmas, but the tradition fell away, and well, there IS the internet. Sometimes though, I want to just find a quick fact and this almanac is great for that. I love playing Tradle (guess the country based on import/export data) and usually want to know more about the country. The OEC has a great website, but it only deals with trade figures. The almanac gives me information on population, education, geography, healthy/mortality as well as a concise history of the country. It gives me a flavor of the place, which is what I'm looking for.My only criticism is that the print is so small. I looked for a large print edition - I couldn't find one. I'll have to get a good magnifier to read it easily.
