"This book is for the people who know they don't know very much." This comment, in the introduction of The Book of General Ignorance, sets the stage and presents the authors' challenge. I started reading it with a "Who do they think they are...

According to my grandson (17 years), these are just not fair. The words that is, that are in this book, who would use these, are they just words for scrabble? I love all the unusual words.

The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary has several pages ripped...It seems that it could have been cut by a box cutter. I felt it was too much trouble sending back...At the time I ordered it...there was a note that it was the last one in stock....

I was very disappointed to find that more than 800 acceptable Scrabble words are missing from this edition. Scrabble News, Issue 201, which appeared more than a year ago, stated, "Some words may have been erroneously omitted from early printings...

Will Shortz is a fabulous puzzle editor, and this collection is one of his best. The spine of the book is spiral, which fascilitates puzzle working. Extremely high quality paper makes it easy to erase notes or mistakes. I recommend this to...

This book is the product of an obviously creative and ingeniously original mind. Every possible connection with zombies is analyzed with exhaustive and painstaking detail. I was absolutely fascinated by the descriptions and in particular the...

Outside of it's novelty status the book becomes a bit burdensome after the first 100 pages or so. It really isn't humorous as another review has stated or if it is the effect wears off quickly. It is more of a "scenerio" booklet. There are some...

You can see it in fine print on the back, next to the price. "Humor"

This book doesn't really produce the kinds of laughs most of look for in books one might find in the Humor section. It moves the reader instead to a king of amused admiration...

I played piano long ago as a kid, but have been out of music for quite a few years now. This is a great way to get back in, learning the bars, notes, and strings. I'm a fan of progressive rock and metal, so I plan to follow in the footsteps of...

I certainly wouldn't recommend these books to anyone. As a reference I guess they are ok, but I am not sure why people like these (including my guitar instructor). If you want to learn guitar, get an instructor and/or a good instructional DVD.

As far as method books go, this one is not bad. I still recommend individual/group lessons if you hope to advance. But all in all, not a bad book for the beginner.

You'll love the book. Written by the founders of Lebowski Fest, this is a hilarous romp through all that is The Big Lebowski. They provide general insight into the making of the film and interview dozens of actors and actresses from the fiilm:...

In Munchkin you are dealt a hand of cards. Each player starts off as first level, you play items and draw cards, and when you see a monster you fight it, and...

I never got into the D&D games. This game was a satire on that genre. If you aren't a fan of this world then this game is okay. With all the backstabbing which is part of the fun, this game can go on and on and on and on. Also, it really would...

What I have to praise about this product is not what it has so much as what other published guides have been missing. Specifically, the previous Diamond and Pearl guide from this same publisher was missing a lot of information regarding pokemon...

I just got this guide and have been reading through it and it is full of typos and duplicate sections. For example, a minor detail, p.385 has a list of tips on creating strong pokemon and tip one and two have the same section heading (although...

Most hilarious Christmas tales around. You will never look at Christmas the same after exploring Sedaris's amazingly funny but somewhat dark world. It's a blessing that I read the stories, especially the now classic SANTALAND DIARIES in the end...

If you haven't read 'Barrel Fever' and 'Naked' this is 4 stars. If you have, you've already read 2/3 of this book, so give it just another 2 stars.
