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.

A must for Bath, Bedroom or just general reading. Rating: - Schott's Miscellany 2008: An AlmanacLove 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!
