Editorial Reviews:

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.

Summary: Great Alamanac a must have for the know it all types.
Comment: 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.

Summary: Facts for the Trivia Buff
Comment: This book is a brilliant review of the year (well, a portion of the year, see below) that hits all of the highlights - and the lowlights as well! With lists such as Grammy and "Blackwell's Best-Dressed" winners, population charts, surveys of Americans' opinions, day-by-day reviews of the year, and one-page bios of important and not-so-important people, Schott's Miscellany 2008 is a staple of the trivia buff's shelf.

Note: the author explains in the foreward that the "Year 2008" covered in this book actually runs from September 2006 through August 2007. So it runs in an odd year, but it helps rather to think of it as an "academic almanack".

A must for Bath, Bedroom or just general reading.

Summary: Schott's Miscellany 2008: An Almanac
Comment: 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!
