The American Forecaster Almanac was launched in 1984 by co-authors Kim Long and Terry Reim. In its early years,
it was a trade book, distributed and sold through retail bookstores. Various
editions were produced annually for twenty-two years by a variety of publishers
(Putnam/Perigee, Running Press, American Demographics Magazine/Dow Jones, and others).
In 1995, publication shifted in-house and the project evolved to include several
early digital formats, including editions produced on floppy disc and CD-ROM.
In 1996, The American Forecaster Newsletter was launched as a traditional 12-page business publication; the newsletter
project was discontinued in 2001. The last print edition of The American Forecaster Almanac was produced in 2006.
