****Please note that this review is for the paperback version ~ I do not recommend purchasing the Kindle version, unless you have the Kindle Fire HD, HDX or an iPad, as it's too difficult to read the astronomical charts, etc. The Kindle Fire HD, HDX and iPad allow for zooming, thus the almanac will look fine on those or newer devices****This is the 223nd edition of The Old Farmer's Almanac. Published in the beautiful, yet tiny town of Dublin, NH, the almanac is the most well known publication of Yankee Publishing Incorporated. The almanac remains much the same as it did when it was first introduced.It's important to note that if you're a prospective buyer of this time honored publication, you're either going to love it or hate it. Here is a description of the almanac taken directly from the listing page. I'll provide my reason for included this information later on. Recognized for generations by its familiar yellow cover, America's best loved annual and oldest continuously published periodical (now in its 223rd year!) promises to be "useful, with a pleasant degree of humor," thus once again both fulfilling the mission set forth by its founder Robert B. Thomas and readers' expectations. This edition is packed with wit, wisdom, tips, advice, facts, fun, and recipes, including:* traditionally 80 percent-accurate weather forecasts* creatures from hell* readers' wacky coincidences* making sausages at home* wildfires' effect on weather* love potions* beauty secrets* odds of almost everything* unmasked mysteries of plant seed dispersalPlus, Moon phases and other celestial sightings, tides, gardening tables, best fishing days, and too much more to mention.
