Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-24 00:00:00 John Seebeck Cleaning my bookshelves is always dangerous because I end up wanting to sit down with every other book and get lost in it. The NYPL Desk Reference is particularly tempting. Google be damned, this book - full of all sorts of helpful &/or fascinating charts, lists, graphs, signs, symbols, useful addresses! cloud nomenclature!! - is delicious. I'm on the net as much as anyone, probably more than many, but you'll have to pry my paper books out of my clutching dead hands. And even then I might slug you.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-12-16 00:00:00 Ira Rummells The New York Public Library Desk Reference by the New York Public Library is the most information packed book I have ever read. With many weird and wacky facts, this book is probably one of the best for general information. It is meant to be used to look up facts at leisure, but one can use it in any way one wants. Although some sections of the book are mildly boring, this is definitely the best nonfiction book I've ever read. With many, many chapters full of interesting stuff, The New York Public Library Desk Reference provides general information on almost every subject. Don't expect too complicated information, though, because this book provides just the basics. One should go to other sources if one wants to learn more about a specific subject. This is my most favorite nonfiction book because I can flip through it at leisure and find any information I want. The New York Public Library Desk Reference contains tons of different information, from the best chemical to use if a dog pees on the rug to signs one should signal to a helicopter if one is stuck in the wilderness. It also contains great sources one can go to for more information. The only downside of it is that it doesn't contain more than the basic information, but one can use the internet or other books to get that. My conclusion is that this is the best nonfiction for general information, and one should always have a copy somewhere for general use.
