WOTM is a book for all ages!

The latest Big Issue includes a review of Who’s on the Money? — they gave it 5 stars and called it “a fascinating mix of history, biography, science, social studies and good ol’ fashioned general knowledge… a book for all ages.”On the subject of reviews, the March 2007 edition Magpies says Who’s on the Money? is ‘accurate and informative’ and ‘well worth adding to the collection’.I assume they meant well worth adding to the collection of must-read books and not the collection of must-burn books…I heard that the Better Homes & Gardens magazine was going to be reviewing WOTM for their June edition… I wonder what happened to that?

Hi Chris,
