Review:

It's great bathroom reading, it's the gardener's best friend, it's the amateur meteorologist's favorite publication.... it's The Old Farmer's Almanac, dishing out timely advice every year since 1792. One early issue described the almanac's mission: "We must strive always to be useful, but with a pleasant degree of humor." The 1998 version of this handy little book fulfills that goal admirably, with everything you always expected to find in an almanac--from long-range weather forecasts to the best time to plant peas--and lots that you didn't, including how to hypnotize a frog. (Hint: make little circling motions with your hand.) There's even a "Millennium Countdown" section, with questions from the Old Farmer's Almanac of 100 years ago as well as instructions on opening champagne bottles safely.
