It is a book typical for any public entity.It confirm my opinion
library is for librarians not for regular public.
The idea behind is simple book have to be suitable for kids under 12.Sure plenty of pages for sport.

But they sure have desk reference.

I agree that this book does have some interesting information but it’s wrong on a whole lot of things. It claims Los Angeles was the capital of California during Spanish Colonialism, which is very incorrect as Los Angeles was only a small “extension” village. It also says California was founded by Francis Drake, never mentioning earlier explorers. I think this book is intended for people living in New York City only.

Actually what u see in this book is the overview of almost all the topic that usually popup’s in our mind, answers to some of the common problem and some amazing facts that surrounds us & we don’t know, though there are few lapses but still its the best book to buy if you want a quick reference on any topic
