Not as much information as I was expecting. Civil War covered in 4 pages? Thought this was an updated version of a book I used to have. I was mistaken. Not bad for someone in high school...I was just expecting more.
Nice quality, well written. Easy single book reference. Only problem is the print is a bit small and make my eyes tired after a while.I recommend this book
It's an ok almanac. Not as many maps and images as I would have liked, but nothing to scoff at.
Love to go back and study some history. I play a game on my phone (Trivia Crack) and my worst subject by far is History so bought this book to help me relearn some events lol
Very nice book, lots of great photos. My 10-year old grandson loves it. I'm going to get one for me!
great book...especially when paired with the beautiful globe!
Like the Almanac of American History, this would be much better structured like the Illustrated Atlas of British History. It's OK and I'll keep it but not really what I want as a reference.
It was a gift for my Dad..he absolutely loves it...highly recommended!
