This review is from: The World Almanac for Kids 2005 (Paperback)

Who are these editors? How long have they been business? I'm a travel writer published in many publiscation and I never use this book for fact-finding for my articles. I think the internet is more reliable and accurate. With 1 travel book to my name, I have found everything for it on the internet.
