Goldmine of misinformation,
This review is from: The Book of Calendars, Conversion Tables From 60 Ancient and Modern Calendars to the Julian and Gregorian Calendars (Paperback)
The 'Book of Calendars' is known among those who study calendars to be an embarassment. The tables are replete with calculation errors and typos. Calculated dates often bear no discernible relation to the background text. The narrative text is also misleading, and filled with partial material. Often, it is simply wrong.
Virtually the only feature of value is the lofty goal. Such a book, if it contained accurate information, would be a rich resource. Sadly, this text does not even come close. I am frankly puzzled that a publisher would even bother to re-print this work, given its very poor reputation.

Do not buy this book!,
This review is from: The Book of Calendars, Conversion Tables From 60 Ancient and Modern Calendars to the Julian and Gregorian Calendars (Paperback)
This book is best avoided because of the embarassingly large
numbers of errors. None of the tables is to be trusted; the textual material is also unreliable. The book is well-known among the calendarist community as a disaster. It is a pity that it has been reissued. |
