This review is from: CQ's Desk Reference On the States: Over 500 Answers To Questions About the History, Government, Elections, and More (Hardcover)

This book would be very useful for finding answers to your state questions. For those who want more information on a particular subject, there is an annotated bibliography at the end of each section. The section on state profiles includes information you might expect to find in an almanac, such as land area, state song, and state flower. An easy to use book filled with tidbits of information.
