This is the classic standard that I like to read. The stories and tales are mostly interesting, and while I don't have much interest in the forecasting and science aspects, the historical connections are interesting. The section on the eclipse was interested to me as it is occurring directly overhead of where I live. The variety of stories and random facts make this an enjoyable almanac.

Throughly enjoyable. Didn't take me long to read at all but overall great read!!!! It was so informational when it comes to growing and planting crops, but also featured recipes, history of the Almanac, funny essays- and so much more! Picked this up on a whim and so happy I read it!!

As a reference work I wouldn't be without it. Having a digital edition is paramount. Why the delay, folks.

Always wanted to get one of these, was pleased to be given one for free. Lots of interesting stuff, though much of it won't be committed to my memory.
