Péter's Digital Reference Shelf is still availabe through Gale Centage Learning. In January, Peter Jasco looked at almanacs and reviewed Information Please Almanac .
On the whole - good content and good software - and it's free.
"There are blogs and other Web sites offering much of the above information, but Information Please Almanac offers an excellent one-stop shop — and the reliability of the data. The only price that you have to pay for this quality and convenience is ads that are more unrealistic or more unappalling than those in TV commercials, especially when they are animated. I wish that the producers and publishers of other almanacs would pick up and implement some of the ideas of the Information Please Almanac."
