Ben Schott read politics at Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, before embarking upon a startlingly brief career in advertising. He currently lives in London and divides his time between Highgate and the British Library.

For anyone remotely interested in such things, a press photograph of Ben can be downloaded below, and various interviews can be experienced to the right.

You can also download the Schott's Almanac radio jingle below, should your listening pleasure require it.
