The Old Farmer's Almanac 2009 (Old Farmer's Almanac)

If you want to waste money for slick advertisements and unuseable information this is the book for you. Made the mistake of buying one, flipping through, asking, "what happened to the "old" information they used to pack into the book?", and proceeding to return it for a refund.

I purchased this to add to my father's birthday gift. He absolutely loved it. I haven't seen him that excited over a gift (especially considering it was an "add-on" gift) in a long time. He is obsessed with the weather, so I figured this was something he would like. I was right.

I have bought the Old Farmers Almanac for over 20 years and always have fun with the information and the almost always on track weather predictions. I at least know what to expect. Our local weatherman said they aren't accurate but I disagree. They follow all the natural ways that people have predicted weather for years and are usually really close. They always have interesting articles too.

The Farmers Almanac is one of my favorite books to read. I don't read the whole book at once, but parcel it out over the year. I make family calendars for Christmas presents, and each year I use the quotes for each month as written in Almanac. My son looks forward to receiving the Farmers Almanac every one year for his birthday.
Thank you.

Good book - have ordered these year after year. Would recommend to anyone who gardens especially.
