There's no doubt that Readers Digest produces nice coffee table books and usually with so many different topics, there is just about something for everyone. And for those that want a large collection of diverse facts all in one book, that brings us to Reader's Digest Book of Facts.

As you might expect from Reader's Digest, this material is presented in a fun, interesting, and easy to read way. Along with the base material in the chapters, also offered are statistics, timelines, trivia and photographs. You could almost call this a mini-reference book due to the many topics that it covers and the potential for learning so many new things. Or, if you're familiar with much of this information, it's just plain enjoyable to go back and rediscover it all over again.

The subjects are spread out over 7 major categories that include People, Places, Science and Technology, Animals and Plants, Arts and Entertainment, The Universe, and The Earth. All individual sections are broken down into sub-chapters with a nice amount of detail that stays fresh throughout the book.

Reader's Digest Book of Facts is nice leisurely reading anyone can enjoy and it comes at a very nice price. I'd recommend this to everyone.
