The World Almanac
...in the new networked world, the World Almanac survives. I used to buy a new edition every year, once upon a time, but the copy on my bookshelf now is dated 1992. Of course there are a lot of facts that haven't changed since then (When was the War of 1812?), but still quite a few that have, and just about all of it is now online. So my World Almanac just gathers dust these days. But it does such a good job of that I hate to throw it away.
