The Other Almanac 2027 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781682195277)

An annual that echoes The Old Farmer's Almanac. The Other Almanac is fun, fact-filled and fabulously beautiful, with a quirkily progressive and environment-friendly take on the coming year.

A sparkling new take on an age-old publication, The Other Almanac brings together contributions by writers, artists, and scientists on topics including environmentalism, botany, grief, seasonal savvy, and off-the-beaten-track curiosities, all presented in brilliant color and eye-popping design.
