Really pleased to see my article "The Temporality of the Early Modern English Almanac" out in the HLQ It discusses how almanac owners annotated, contradicted, ripped up, and reused these ubiquitous but odd books, and what these behaviours reveal about their sense of time muse.jhu.edu/article/944186
