handsomely presented book, one that fits in the glove compartment
or backpack, the published edition [of the Texas Almanac] offers
its pleasures." -- Mark Busby, coeditor, Texas Books in
Review--Mark Busby"Texas Books in Review" (01/01/2012)
"It's good to have an official Texas Almanac. It settles arguments.
. . . It amazes us with long-forgotten facts. . . . It reminds us
of well-known, as well as not-so-known official facts about our
state." -- Rick Smith, San Angelo Standard-Times-- (11/17/2009)
