Book Reviews of Schott's Miscellany 2008: An Almanac (Schott's Miscellany)

Book Review: Great Alamanac a must have for the know it all types.
Summary: 5 Stars

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 of Schott's Miscellany 2008: An Almanac (Schott's Miscellany)

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.
