This book is filled with fun information about events in history including birth dates of all sorts of notable people throughout history, quotes, and milestones, and contains great pictures. I like the way it is arranged like a date book, with each double spread page one day of the year, filled with descriptive blurbs about memorable happenings. But almost every date I checked about an event was off by days or even months. The factoids contained in the blurb about that day in history were correct however. I would recommend this book because it does have a lot of good content, but I would advise double checking all dates. ( )
