The Old Farmer Almanac 2013 Old Farmer Almanac 9781571985736 Books Reviews
- It's a great calendar but my husband order this thinking it would have something along the lines of when to grow things but it didn't. It has lovely pictures and I'll use like any other, I'll just had to look up the things he wants to grow and put it on the calendar manually.
- The Very first page says "Fitted for Boston and the New England States with special corrections and calculations to answer for all the United States" I would not have purchased. The actual OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC website I understand sells whole versions for the various parts of the U.S. I should have purchased it there. When you purchase your Almanacs at their website, you are asked which part of the U.S. you want... i.e. Western States.
There are many great tips and informative facts in this book. The Almanac is great in that way. Other than great detail for Boston and New England, for which this book is geared, there are merely one-page WEATHER sections for the other parts of the U.S.(pages 192 to 208 only), but most of the book is geared for Boston & New England. This book is also like any magazine.... crammed full of advertisements. This book has 288 pages. - I love the Old Farmer's Almanac. It's a goldmine of obscure facts, commonsense oddities, and useful tidbits about basically everything under the sun -- from astronomy to astrology, from farming practices to American history, from vocabulary to old-timey cooking tips (like cooking corn in a cooler. Who knew?!). The articles and tidbits are usually short enough that you can read one in just a few minutes, which makes it a perfect coffee table book. This version also does contain the storied weather forecasts for the coming year, too, broken down according to region, though it does say that it was "Fitted for Boston and the New England States with special corrections and calculations to answer for all the United States" (which was fine by me, since I am in New England).
I will say that the Almanac is not very intuitively organized, but I actually think that's part of the fun of it -- digging around and opening to random pages and seeing what you find. If you're looking for a quirky little book of diversions, you can't go wrong with this old favorite. - Boo for continuous pages. It's not the Almanac's fault, though. I just don't like the way it's formatted in a running page type of format instead of page by page like the paper book. This makes it hard to see images on the smaller kindle, requiring some assistance from the PC version of for me.
I'm still thrilled that the Almanac is available on and that I can carry it around with me wherever I go. As always, the Almanac has it's cute, annual articles and recipes along with it's world renowned winter forecasts. The forecasts are direct (and hopefully accurate this year) and covers all regions, not just the northeast (of course, the Alamanc is published in Boston and was created in the beginning with Boston in mind, why break the tradition?).
Everybody should always own a copy of the Almanac and at this great price there is no reason for anybody not to splurge a five spot on it. - I bought the book and realized I was able to get just as much of the information I wanted on-line. I think for the person that was truly curious, it would be a very interesting and useful book. I find that the dates and predictions hold very close to true. For someone who is only curious when the first cool front will bring a relief to the hot dry summers it is not as in-depth ans I would have anticipated. I think however, it contains a wealth of information and for those who garden, like interesting facts and have the time to really read it through it would be a good investment!
- A family favorite. A book that I would get my father every year at Christmas. Full of wonderful, useful information that can be used all year round. In-depth information on cycles of the Moon, gardening by the seasons, healing remedies and natural solutions. This is a yearly must have!
- I love my Farmers Almanac. I have been looking forward to reading it every year for 40 years.
And last year when I could buy it for my . Amazing. This year was just as great.
The only complaint I have is unlike last year all the weather diagrams are really really small.
And they will not enlarge. I can not read the rainfall diagram at all.
They are about 1/4 the size of last years. Please fix that folks. I just started reading.
So I do not know about the rest of it.
But I will still enjoy my almanac.......but only 4 stars instead of 5. - I'm thinking I would get age-old wisdom from this almanac handed down from generation to generation. Instead, I got page after page of advertisements.
Wow, first time reading this almanac and the internet has basically replaced this series.
I "read" this on an airplane, noticed all the ads for older people, noticed I could have just wikipedia searched everything, then I left it on the plane because I thought carrying it around would be a hassle.
