Notă biografică

Joseph Whitaker published the first edition of his Almanack on 23rd December 1868. Volume one was 370 pages long well received. Published by Whitaker's & Sons until  1997, it was then acquired by The Stationery Office until 2003, and then A & C Black, which later became a subsidiary of Bloomsbury Publishing in 2011. Rebellion Publishing Ltd. acquired Whitaker's in 2020. 

Recenzii

"Whitaker's is the place for things that everybody needs but nobody publishes - nobody else." -- Matthew Parris
"Settler of argument, provider of spurious historical parallels, goad to the weary hack's mind. I become so engrossed I forget what I was trying to look up in the first place." -- Libby Purves
"A source of delight as well as a gold-mine of information." -- Jonathan Dimbleby

Descriere

First published in 1868, Whitaker's is the ultimate single-volume reference source - packed with thousands of facts, figures, overviews and statistics relating to the UK and the world.
