jjares avatar reviewed on + 3413 more book reviews


This is one of those books you can take anywhere and read for a few minutes, or for an hour.  The info may be useless, but it is fascinating trivia about our world.  Some of the paragraphs are bizarre, some are fascinating.  Here are a couple of examples:
"In America and England, witches are hanged, not burned."  You never know when you will be invited to join a coven and need to know this!

"Dr. Fredric J Bauer, the inventor of the Pringles potato chip tube, requested that his family bury his remains inside his proudest invention."  Now, you are ready for trivia games.

You can see for yourself the high-quality trivia this book is offering for your perusal.  Enjoy.
