Whenever I have a question about census research ("What did they ask on the 1920 census about immigration...?") this is the book for me. Well organized with lots of interesting trivia thrown in (see "Do you own a radio set?" on page 64) I always find something interesting everytime I pick it up! Then again, I still like scrolling through microfilm...
This book is very helpful for census research. It is well organized and very easy to use. I highly recommend this book for anyone researching in the U.S. Federal Census records.
