Media Reviews
. ..easier to use than an almanac, this FactFinder demonstrates new ways information is being reorganized for more facile access. Recommended. The Reader's Review, The Bookseller's Network
. ..a good reference tool, particularly for public and school libraries. Reference Books Bulletin
. ..international in scope....there is much useful information here, especially for students....a useful addition to the ready-reference shelf of most libraries.... Barbara Walden, Library Journal
. ..a browser's (or crossword addict's) delight...its modest price and broad, if not deep, range of information will make the Factfinder a handy source for quick answers. Its continental perspective will make it a valuable addition to any collection. RQ
