The APD is a year-book, in a handy to use (passport-sized) pocket diary format, extremely strongly bound and with reusable plastic cover to make it withstand a year in your trouser-pocket.
It is published in special editions, custom-calculated for your location, currently in english, german, french, italian, spanish and greek editions. Published since 1989 it boasts a few dozen real fans around the world, who appreciate the value of the data, the concise presentation and the free-thinking-attitude of this unique publication.
The APD has been known to be used by stock brokers, managers, science teachers, sailors, gardeners, stargazers etc. .. generally anyone who can benefit from having "facts about the future". It has even been described as a "Prophets Handbook"! The APD is also used as a schoolbook in evening astronomy classes, a low-cost alternative and complement to bigger astronomy books.
Even some esoterically misguided people use it to enhance their understanding of astrology. Some outright astrologers use it to supplement their charts and income. For them it is easy to say that Venus is in Scorpio, but to see whether she is in front or behind the Sun when she is in Scorpio, this is new ... and allows for more costly blather.
Some people take it with them everywhere ... and use it to point out the features of the night-sky, Sun and tides. Its a real out-doors companion, too.
Order your copy for the next year as soon as possible. Even if you manage to see just a single heavenly phenomenon its worth more than a hollywood movie and a bad Bud. Familiarise yourself a little bit with the heavens, its the stuff which made humankind wonder enough to develop philosophy. And who can live without a certain philosophy these days?
