I love almanacs. The year in pictures is definitely my favorite.
I think that this would be valuable to me as a graduate student in library science and information technology. I am interested in knowing what has changed in history and what is currently going on in society that is documented in one book.
I like having an almanac in the house. You never know when the kids are going to need some tidbit of info for a report or something. I’m curious to see what things it has as the symbols of 2011.
