Editorial Review:

Product Description:
In the modern age, where information is plentiful but selection and analysis elusive, Schott’s Almanac presents a unique biography of the year: from Hillary Clinton’s and Barack Obama’s historic presidential runs to George Bush’s continued infatuation with “the Google,” from marriage and crime statistics to the incidence of shark bites worldwide, and from the Nobel Prize for Literature to the Bad Sex in Fiction award, Schott’s Almanac distills information and opinions critically, giving readers an accurate biography of the year past.

Practical, entertaining, and utterly compulsive, Schott’s Almanac eschews endless lists and tiny type to present an elegantly designed and utterly compulsive selection of the year’s events.




Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Alamanac a must have for the know it all types.
I'm the type of person who thrives on seemingly useless information. I love this book and all of the information that Ben Schott has so meticulously documented. I have since purchased the whole series and look forward for the future almanacs to come.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Book review
I looked all over for this product and could only find it on Amazon.
If you are a trivia buff, you will definitely want this book so you can find the answer to any question you may have.

Note: the author explains in the foreward that the "Year 2008" covered ... Read More

You want to know somethin? Just about everything is in this book!
A must for Bath, Bedroom or just general reading.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Schott's Miscellany 2008: An Almanac
Love this Almanac. Gifted all my children a copy (ages 17,23,25). Love topics like "Some 2007 Movie Taglines of Note". It is packed full of trival pop culture that makes for fun conversation at parties. Who knew all the "best airports for sleeping"? Something for everyone!
