this publication, in print, is always one of the most fun books to rifle through randomly-the perfect book for the privy. having an e-edition w/ranking, comparison & search, as well as the expectation of more and more current data fed live from the web was exciting enough to think about giving up competitive Scrabble(tm) on the crapper. Sadly, this 1st version only shows some promise on search, comparison, and rank. The data is old and not complete across all countries. Also, most unforgiveable: font size is not adjustable up or down, and text that is too long cannot be scrolled or even clicked into to read. Provenance and better data descriptions would be very useful as well.
