Is the old Farmers Almanac an actual book or just something that you would release one recipe at a time?

Yes, The Old Farmer's Almanac is a book that is published every year. It's North America's most popular periodical and oldest almanac, having been continuously published since 1792 when George Washington was president!  Today, we have both the original print as well as an online edition.  We publish annually in August/September. You can find the Almanac in stores where magazines and books are sold and also learn more online here: www.Almanac.com/store . We also have wonderful Almanac cookbooks which you can find here. Hope this answers your question (and more!).
