Which Almanac is Best

Reference librarians - which almanac is the most useful:
Times Almanac
World Almanac

Are there others that are more popular or useful? Is there an electronic almanac thats dependable? Or have people forgotten about almanacs - will they go the way of printed newspapers?

Very, very rarely, almost never are the almanacs even touched.

When I first got on line I would always turn to Infoplease.com. I found the name easy to remember and though the front page was very busy looking, you could find what you were looking for very quickly.
I use almanacs for geographic and political information, mostly to learn more about individual countries.

I understand. It really does make you wonder how long these printed sources will be around. But, what if . . . the Internet came down, what do we do then?
