There are also facts about Canada and Mexico, current state governors, U.S. senators, U.S. Supreme Court justices, major 2022-2023 awards, and calendars (2024-2026; Chinese; perpetual calendar through 2100)... The book also includes the URL and password for the user-friendly online companion website, offering multiple access points beyond the basic search. An invaluable resource for trivia fans, planners, media professionals, teachers, and librarians. -- ""Library Journal, Starred Review"""
