Whitaker's Almanack 2005 is a reference library in one unique book and is an essential reference tool for every home, business or classroom. Whitaker's Almanack is an authoritative and comprehensive work of reference with unparalleled breadth and depth of content.

Whitaker's contains a wealth of information, and using it you could find out: an MP's salary; who won last year's Grand National; your annual tax allowance; how many acres are in a square mile - or even on what day Easter fell in 1940!
