Can one book possibly include everything there is to tell about Texas?
No, but one book comes very close — and it’s been doing it for more than 150 years.
Of course, I’m talking about the Texas Almanac, published every two years by the Texas State Historical Association (and for many years by the Dallas Morning News).
The 2014-15 edition of the Almanac ($24.95 flexbound, $39.95 hardback) came out toward the end of last year, and its 756 pages are crammed full of comprehensive facts, figures, lists, maps and other interesting and useful information.
