America’s best-selling annual publication is also the most beloved: its name makes people smile and its contents tickle funny bones. A reference book that reads like a magazine, the Almanac is packed with facts, features, and fun that make every day special. The 2012 edition, which marks the publication’s 219th anniversary, will feature  • weather predictions for every day and climatic trends for each season, plus the science behind weather folklore • the most accurate astronomical data under the sun, with best-viewing recommendations for every month • gardening advice for growing vegetables and flowers, not to mention worthwhile weeds • easy, mouthwatering recipes for Dutch ovens • amusing and enlightening articles on topics such as cures for a headache, quirky measurements, and heirloom animals • ideas, hints, and charts that provide simple solu tions and shortcuts for everyday challenges and much, much more! Added value this year: • 80 full-color pages • full-color national weather maps of winter and summer forecasts • national, in-person TV, radio, and print publicity campaign, beginning in September 2011
