The People's Almanac

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The People's Almanac was a series of books published in the 1970s and 1980s by Irving Wallace, the novelist responsible for co-authoring the series The Book of Lists. The format of the almanac departs from a conventional almanac and included many obscure facts, lists and esoteric knowledge. It, as well as the Book of Lists series, is considered a forerunner of Internet websites such as Wikipedia.
