Fully updated and revised for 2009, this single volume family reference book comes from the publishers of the renowned Whitaker's Almanack.

Hugely entertaining and informative, this book is a superb reference title for all the family. Praise for the first edition "Russell Ash is the king of lists, the author of reference books that offer a short cut to pub-quiz stardom."

A big highlight of my childhood.
Whenever not felt like doing school homework, I opened this, read it many times, couple hundred hours. Everything is so well put.
Encyclopedias can be so fun too!!

the best book you'll ever own, totally fact-tastic, the biggest and the best fact book around. Has hundreds of astonishing facts, figures, firsts, and lasts. Late. Russell Ash is the author of many award-winning popular reference books. And I recommend this book 📙 to my connections and everyone.

My loving father gifted it to me. Even if this age of Googling everything, you will definitely love to look at the colourful pictures with varieties of information!
