Media Reviews
One of the top 20 best reference sources of the millennium. -- Library Journal The SYB remains an indispensable paper resource for reference librarians and others in need of quick, basic, accurate information. -- American Reference Books Annual All you need to know about the population of various states and countries, officials, exports, constitutions, governments, diplomatic representatives, religion, finance, and basic histories. -- The New York Times On the desert island of the imagination this title should certainly be up there with the Bible and Shakespeare. -- Parliamentary Maritime Review A classic reference work. -- Reference Reviews Perfect Companion. -- The Times You need more than one of everything because no information in value-free - except perhaps in [Palgrave's] annual The Statesman's Yearbook ... a masterpiece of pure quantification. -- Daily Telegraph (Victoria Glendinning's choice of Top Reference Book) The book should be in every office which is concerned with world trade and, indeed, in every school which produces the future traders. It is an essential tool of all global thinking. -- The Geographical Magazine
