The New York Times Practical Guide to Practically Everything, Second Edition: The Essential Companion for Everyday Life

It is a great read! Unlike being in a form of a normal book, it serves to have each entry separated and easy to search. Great way to kill time while being educated!

This book has so much useful information you'll find yourself unable to put it down. I found it so useful I purchased another copy for my daughter. Every parent should buy this book for their children before they send them out into the real world. A great how-to manual for real life!

Full of great information!

Very useful! So much information and nicely organized for ease of finding things.

I was somewhat disappointed. I love "The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge" and thought this would be helpful, but the advice is either sort of obvious or just falls short (not enough information). Could be good for giving a graduate who is going off to the world on their own.

I will never have a chance to read the whole book but it is fun looking up subjects and getting an answer. I would considerthis a fun, interesting and useful reference book.

Trivia, yes, but often very useful and always a lot of fun.

Saw this at a friend's and thought it looked interesting. Picked it up used for around 5 dollars. Wouldn't pay full sticker. Leafed through it in a sitting and would keep it for reference unless I move someplace smaller. A nice to look at compilation, but made obsolete by the internet.
