Great History Book I gave several of these books as Christmas presents and everyone was very impressed with all the greatest headline stories listed. All were very anxious to view the cd roms with the book to look up other special dates in their lives.
The New York times book I ordered this book for my husband for Christmas and was pleased it arrived in a timely manner. I'm disappointed that the 1st part of the book can only be read by a magnifying glass, (though I understand that's the type the papers were using at the time ) My husband loves the book so mission accomplished.
