I finished the book awhile back and forgot to review it.
Ehh, first off it is not an almanac. It is a book of short stories with "DIY" instructions. I enjoyed the book, but it didn't spark the flame that I expected it to do.

Right, note to self: Be very, very picky about which Llewellyn books you read.
