This review is from: Chambers Super-Mini Book of Facts (Paperback)

A useful little book with a surprising amount of information. It's useful even in this time of ubiquitous 'net access - for those times when you can't tweak your query just right or your local ISP has let you down.

If you are an author, having a couple of this type of book with you at all times makes life easier.
