This is the perfect little companion book for a lover of Discworld. You would need to have read the books to understand the references.
This is so funny, classic Pterry humour!

A fun edition for any Discworld collector, although no quite like the Discworld diaries - the compendium of information on planning the crops for the year ahead, as well as current constellations and common cabbage varieties! Full of Pratchett humour, definitely a must for any fan.

I’m a huge fan of Pratchett but I just don’t enjoy these Almanak’s. They’re not as engaging as the books. The little nods throughout to characters and events are fun, that’s about it.

Akin to the Roundworld Almanacs, this book is a companion book to the Discworld series and is steeped in Discworld lore, focusing on one year in the life of. Unlike some of the other "companion" books in the Discworld series, this one doesn't really feature any little extra storylines but does include plenty of canon quotes from the series and some illustrations by the now official and very recognisable Discworld artist, Paul Kidby.

It's a fun little addition to the world of Discworld, but I don't think it contributes anything particular, unlike some of the other books like The Folklore of Discworld and Where's My Cow?.
