Almanacs contain a wide range of specific and statistical information about topics such as education, politics, sports, entertainment, and significant events of a particular year. Encyclopedias are multivolume sets of books that organize information on many branches of knowledge. Captivating quotations, both serious and funny, found in books of quotations, can enliven the language of your speech. Quoting another person also may add credibility to your comments and strengthens the development of your ideas.
