.Guinness World Records 2009 2009 (Guinness World)

September 17, 2008
I still buy and read the Guinness Record book every year, because it's become like an old friend that I like to catch up with, but I have to disagree with Birch East. I like the way it has changed and brings out a fresh look each year. The changes, like holograms, 3D whatever, make it fresh every year. My nephews also are big fans of the 3D gimmick.

I do agree with the recommendation for Getting Into Guinness: One Man's Longest, Fastest, Highest Journey Inside the World's Most Famous Record Book, the new book by Larry Olmsted about the history and culture of the Guinness World Records book. After reading his review I snapped up a copy and it is great--very entertaining and a fun read! I have read the record book for years but never ... Read More:

.All You Need to Know About the City (All You Need to Know Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Almanacs and Yearbooks
by: Christopher Stoakes

2007-02
I already had a good knowledge of the financial systems, but wanted a book that would provide me a complete insight into all areas of the financial world. I have read many academic style books over the years and this is by far the best.
The authors style is clear and very easy to read. He explains things in a very simple way to digest and understand without dumbing down content.
Overall a fantastic easy to read guide to the intricacies of the financial city and the types of people and businesses that operate within it.

If you like the series, then you will love the book. It is split in very small pieces of information, which makes it ideal for commuting. I recommend it!

.Murakami Diary
City Travel Guides > Books > Almanacs and Yearbooks
by: Haruki Murakami

August 07, 2008
This is a sweet little diary full of quotes, book covers and associated Murakami paraphernalia; liberally sprinkled with book histories, publishing dates and Japanese holidays.

It's very beautiful, and even comes in a dust jacket, and despite all there is to be enjoyed it still feels quite minimalist; the black and white and red styling complimenting the character of Murakami's novels perfectly.

From a bibliophile's point of view, it is certainly a valued item to keep alongside Murakami's wonderful novels. The only problem i can see is exactly why you would want to write in it at all!

I've lost track of how many times i've dipped in and out of the this book for information. It really has got everything you'd ever want to know about the UK charts in it. Ever heard a song played on the radio and want to know moe about it? Chances are you'll find it in the index.

As well as listing complete chart records and catalogue numbers for every artist to ever enter the top 75 you'll find a fun Number 1 timeline going right back to when it started in 1952 up to 2005. Really good if you want to see what the number single/album was on your birthday.

There's also interesting facts sprinkled throughout the book and a top 500 of the UK's most successful artists in the charts, i've always liked looking at where my ... Read More:
