Quaintly antiquated.:

I use this constantly as a Jew. Get the original, not the newer printings. The original was done in the '70's and it just has this very open, dowhatchalike feel. Everything is covered from living Kosher to Shabbat to the Shoah. It's a 'how-to' manual for the Reformers. Good things abound. Take what you like and leave the rest.

I had this book and the second edition years ago:

Surprisingly, I found this book and it's second book in the series to be helpful. It's a compendium of Jewish culture and knowledge and I, who grew up in a somewhat "Jewishly deprived" neighborhood in LI, NY found that the Jewish Catalogs managed to connect me to what was going on elsewhere. I think someone should update these books and bring them up to par in the modern age.
I learned about resources and people like the late Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, from this book and some of these resources as well... more info

Whole Earth Catalog for Jews!:

It's a lot of fun and good info, now getting dated.

Great, funny, easy to read!:

i love this book, people of all ages and all religious "ranges" can relate to it! It is funny, easy to read and understand, plus it is very "jewish" you can hear your parents and grandparents speak through the many yiddish exppressions found here. I used this book as a source of information to learn about the Mikveh for my wedding, and now, I am one of the best educated on the subject! I recomend it wholehartedly.
