This review is from: A Man, A Plan ... 2002; The Year in Palindromes (Spiral-bound)

Whether you use it as calendar or not, this is a wonderful palindrome book. It's beautifully put together and the range of palindromes is excellent. They are usually listed in a relevant way, for example "Campus motto - Bottom's up, Mac" for the anniversary of Jenna Bush being ticketed for underage drinking. It's worth the price just for things like the weekly mini-articles about all things palinromic and the section of biogrophies of many palindrome writers.
