F or many years I have had Anderson’s Handbook as my close companion, using it as a point of reference and double checking dates on which particular events took place. I recommend it strongly to all persons who need a quick review of the country’s past. There is certainly a lot of information stacked into it that will not be easily found elsewhere. The fact that it was considered useful and perhaps necessary, to reproduce the Handbook after 84 years does to a large extent point to its importance. - Adrian Fraser from the Introduction
