THE WORLD ALMANAC and Book of Facts

The book is in fair condition, with noticeable wear on the cover, including creases and some tearing. The spine is intact but shows signs of aging. The pages are yellowed, typical for a book of this age, but they remain legible and securely bound. There is no dust jacket, as this is a paperback edition.

The 1969 edition of "The World Almanac and Book of Facts" is a comprehensive reference book published by the Newspaper Enterprise Association, Inc. in New York. Edited by Luman H. Long, this edition continues the almanac's tradition of providing a wide array of facts and statistics since its inception in 1868. This paperback edition is distinct for its 1969 data, covering topics from astronomical data and political events to economic statistics and cultural highlights. The book is an essential resource for students, educators, and anyone seeking authoritative information from that year. Although the book shows signs of wear, it remains a valuable historical document for collectors and researchers interested in the late 1960s. The absence of an ISBN suggests its vintage status, adding to its uniqueness.
