What is the world's oldest almanac?

According to tradition, the almanac was first produced in China in 2256 B.C. It was probably one of the first books to be printed by the block printing press, invented in the seventh century A.D. By the beginning of the ninth century a writer commented that “these printed calendars have flooded the empire.”

They have been on sale ever since. The T’ung Shu has the longest continuous printed history of any book in the world — more than 1,200 years.
