A compendium of invaluable statistics and sports references which libraries will find useful and popular
ESPN is the acknowledged leader in sports reporting and that's why its reference ESPN SPORTS ALMANAC 2006 is so important: it covers the biggest personalities and events of the year, offering access to statistics, individual award-winners, teams, and critical overviews by ESPN expert reporters. From college sports to football, basketball, baseball and more, ESPN SPORTS ALMANAC is a compendium of invaluable statistics and sports references which libraries will find useful and popular.
A PERFECT GIFT FOR THE SPORTS FAN
I should know, I own it!!! I have grabbed these books since 1998, and they are superb. The only thing I do not like about the ESPN Sports Almanac, is that sometimes, there is a misprint, but it is rare. This is a superb book for anyone who wants to know the all time and previous year records in baseball, football, hockey, nascar racing, formula racing, golf, tennis, and basketball. But these sports are not the only ones covered in this extra thick publication. You will get info on Olympic sports including gymnastics, bobsledding, skiing, track & field, etc. The book covers the previous year in sports headlines, It has tons of information on off the wall sports like badminton and rugby, and it comes from the favorite sports people of America, ESPN. Enough said!!!

This is it! Statistics are the mother's milk of sports
And here it all is, in one handy, well organized alamanac. Football, Baseball, Basketball, Racing and more!

Extremely relevant even today
For example, my favorite Franklin quote about taxes - which is so very true today - is this:
The first "Poor Richard" as printed...
In 1733 Benjamin Franklin released the first Poor Richard's Almanac. He was by no means famous when it appeared. Another twenty years would pass before his electrical experiments brought him worldwide attention. But some Philadelphians knew Franklin as a dedicated printer and public servant. Regardless, Franklin needed amarketing gimmick to gain a percentage of the crowded almanac market. This bold trick involved his main competitor, Titan Leeds. On the inside cover Franklin (writing as "Richard Saunders" or "Poor Richard") predicted Leed's death in October of that same year. It worked. The "scandal" spread throughout Philadelphia and sales of "Poor Richard's Almanack" skyrocketed. Leeds did not die, of course, as predicted but Franklin (Saunders) hilariously stood his ground in future issues.
Choice Morsels Of Wisdom
Franklin's timeless compilation of whit and wisdom is truly a classic.The book contains some of the most interesting and impressive collection of comments that Franklin was able to put in this compendium.While many are ascribed to Franklin, he specifically does not take credit for the adages himself.Rather, he indicates that they are commonly utilized comments and expressions of the vernacular.

Excellent
An spectacular book, with amazing photos and very quality printing. It became fast part of my car books collection.

The Car Design Yearbook 4
This volume continues the format and quality of volumes 1-3, with the same strengths (beautiful photos, appealing coffee table appearance, etc.) and weaknesses (commentary isn't always helpful; every car gets about the same depth of coverage, whether it's a production-ready Fiat or an amazing concept car). If you liked the earlier editions, you'll enjoy this one too.

The Car Design Yearbook 4
This is one of the coolest yearbooks around, especially if you like to stay updated on cars that came out last year. These books are excellent reference for years to come.

American Ephemeris for the 21st Century 1900-2000 at Noon
Very, very good reference guide to have on hand for checking planets, sun, moon placements for friends, relatives, and co-workers. It is also surprisingly easy to use and is an excellent tool to have on hand for astrological use.

One of the Best...
I've been teaching astrology since 1978 and have found over the years that students will always make fewer mistakes using a NOON based ephemeris rather than midnight based. If you're starting to learn the math for astrology this is a very good ephemeris to go with. Eventually you'll probably buy them all, because they all have pluses and minuses. Neil Michelsen was a Virgo's Virgo for accuracy and his numbers can be relied on.

Definative Tool
What can I say?This is a definative tool for anyone doing any kind of astrology.It's a must have.Without an emphemeris, it's just not precise! ... Read more

Must have for all ages!
I had borrowed this book from our local library and was very impressed. There's so much information in it and so many great pictures...it is worth having on your shelf and you will refer to it often as you look up historical words or questions you run into, your children can use it for school...It is the only book of this kind, that I could find, that has the entire history and is not concentrating on just one time-period or subject abt. American history. I also bought the "world history" one from National Georaphic. It is a great price and I haven't seen it at this price anywhere else (trust me I've done some research before buying). ... Read more

GREAT INVALUABLE TOOL FOR WHOSE WHO IN WASHINGTON!
My 1996 edition is so dog-eared, highlighted, and noted that you can tell it's one of my most common reference tools.I use it when politicians are on talk shows, to give me an idea of where they are coming from. It usuallyproves there is a huge media imbalance of views on network television, soI've switched to C-Span. Seeing a voting record clues me in on where aCongressman is likely to stand on an issue, before he opens his mouth. Iuse it for background information, and to send faxes and letters.I use itto keep track of my own Congressmen and to find others who have voted theway I would vote, to contact, if an important issue is pending for a vote.It's only big handicap is a lack of E-Mail addresses.I could do much morewith it, if I had them.I highly recommend this book and am saving for anupdated version.

Great Read; Great Tool
This 384-page almanac is chocked full of articles with daily info on moon phases and other needed info. I like the listing of the days instead of trying to cram all the info into a calendar form. The articles or chapters, are all well written and can be read within a half hour for most so it is easy to pick this book up, pick a spot within the book and just read. You don't need to start on page 1 and probably shouldn't! I'm now going to look for 2006 just to read all the articles.
Magical Guide for the Year 2007
This is my 13th volume in the Llewellyn's Magical Almanac series. So that's lucky, right?
Mine of information
I buy these books every year. they help me learn more from someone elses perspective. There are so many things pack into these little books that the price is small conpared to the information you get out. I would recomend these Almanac's to anyone that is a new student to the Craft and to the old student as well. Information is really the only power. ... Read more

Products available
I found the catalog very limited.A review should include all products available from a manufacturer or list variations of products displayed.For example, a watch made of stainless steel is also available and not just white gold.

The best guide in the market
After years of buying the equivalent in French and German, this is definitely the best guide, very complete, very well written. The prices are in US$, though. The most expensive watch, a Vacheron Constantin. 1.6 million dollars, production is limited to 7 watches. The mind boggles!

Representing the top of the watchmakers art.
Do not expect to find quartz electronic watches from the orient here. This is a catalog of the finest in traditional watch design from Europe, primarily Switzerland, Germany and France. Here are watches that are the ultimate in design, both mechanically and artistically. They are also the ultimate in price, intended for the well to do who wants to make a fashion statement that is also a supurb timekeeper. (I don't know the most expensive watch in the book, but the highest priced one I found was $783,100.)

Great book to read every day
This Book is great to read for anyone with an inspired mind, I love the fact that you can read one page, full of facts each day of the year. Highly recomended.

Every day in every way we are getting a little bit better
Ben Franklin exemplifies one kind of American spirit. The historian Daniel Boorstin said that the greatness of America was in the small improvements it continually provided to everyday life, the spirit of invention. Ben Franklin built a lot of different kinds of better mousetraps, including bifocals, the postal service, and a whole way of thinking about improving the self day - by- day.

Informative and helpful for first time dads
My partner is a savvy, well informed kind of guy.I had some fear that he would think this book was lame or at least unhelpful when I gave it to him when we were a couple months pregnant.He read the book and sang its praises for the practical ideas and advice it gave for dads to help mom in pregnancy and things to do with the baby when he/she arrives.It's not just pregnancy or baby focused, but includes ideas and activities for dad throughout baby and childhood.

accessible guide to responsible fatherhood
The author is a father of two sons and a child-center volunteer, but this book is not just one random guy's ruminations on how to be a better father.The author is also an experienced book editor, and he uses those skills to blend the experiences of nearly 50 other fathers of various backgrounds as he compiles this almanac of observations and seasoned advice.
ONLY THE BEST ON THE MARKET
I raised my daughter by this book, and then gave it away to a young fatherwho has raised his son on it.I am an Infant/Toddler teacher and amfamiliar with very very many many books for parents ... and as far as I amconcerned this is only the best book of its kind on the market for fathers. ...
