The New World Almanac Is A Great Addition To Any Library (And A Great Christmas Gift)!

Do you know which Broadway show has run the longest?* Or, what’s the number one top-selling video game of the year 2017?** Do you know which railroad disaster since 1925 had the highest death toll? These are all questions that you can find the answers to in The World Almanac And Book Of Facts 2019!

This is a super fun, humongous, and intriguing book. It’s a great reference book for all sorts of facts. And, it’s also really fun to just pick up, flip through, and read random pages. It’s definitely also a book that is educational and very informative!

It’s A Best-Selling Reference Book

The World Almanac, according to its website, is the best-selling reference book in America!  It features tons and tons and tons of information. The following are some of the sections included in the 2019 Almanac and you may find them fascinating (as I did):

  • “2018 Top 10 News Topics”;
  • “Year in Pictures – 2018”;
  • “2018 Election Results”;
  • “U.S. Crime Rates by Region and State, 2016”;
  • “Presidential Approval Rating Over First Years in Office, 1989 – 2018,” and
  • “Highest-Rated Prime-Time Television Programs, 2017 – 2018.”

The book also covers sports, world history and culture, consumer information, personalities, health and vital statistics, and much more!

This book is literally crammed with information. I listed just a tiny bit of what I found interesting and I wanted to demonstrate the variety this book provides in terms of subjects it covers.

This would be a cool gift for many, including children, teens, adults, teachers and more! It really is a neat book to have in your library. And, it could be a useful reference book for students (children or adult).

The book is available for purchase at many major book retailers. You can also go through the World Almanac website to find where to purchase it. The paperback version has a suggested retail price of $14.99. It is currently available on Amazon for $10.39 for the paperback and $10.99 for the Kindle version (prices subject to change).
