## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A fascinating read
  

*by C***4 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 September 2016*

I've bought Pocket World in Figures every year for many years.The 2017 edition arrived yesterday. From a quick initial look, on page 78 the book says Ireland has the world's 6th largest air travel market with apparently 101 million passengers carried per year. That's around as many passengers as in Germany and Brazil (shown as 107.6 million and 100.4 million respectively), so the Ireland figure is totally wrong.On page 75 the league table of the world's 50 most crowded national road networks somehow manages to omit Belgium. This is a relatively densely populated country with high car ownership, very busy roads, and frequent traffic jams particularly in and around Brussels and Antwerp. I think Belgium should be between 20th and 35th on the list -- over to you, Economist!Occasional errors aside, this is a great annual publication.

    Great for facts and figures
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 June 2010*

This is one of those books I buy every few years, my first was in 1993. I buy it because I am a China watcher and I look to see how big its economy is each year. Back in 1993 China ranked 10th with a GDP of 416 $bn, now in the 2010 edition China ranks 4th with a GDP of 3,206 $bn, ahead of the UK (5th). But in purchasing power China lies 2nd to the USA. The book is full of lists of world rankings, covering many topics. Plus it has 71 country profiles. This book will be useful for businessmen, travellers and lovers of trivia.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
