Fun Fact Books

I recently had to move and I lost a couple boxes of books. The first book I thought of was An Incomplete Education. Finding it wasn't lost made my day all by itself.

This is not a "breezy little book of interesting facts" you will have hours of fun reading. It actually assumes you know a great deal more about the items it intends to teach you than you probably do.

I would say it is as much fun as...

The best bit about taking delivery of the latest edition of "Guinness World Records" is the discovery of new information about the largest, tallest, fastest or whatever. As with every new edition of this book, many records from previous editions...

This book is so much fun. I love to ask my husband questions from it when we travel. He enjoys getting his brain "exercised." Thanks for offering the product and for the great "AMAZON.COM" service.

This book has a lot of trivia questions. And that's one of the reasons why it isn't a great book. With 3,000 questions, one has to strain to find the interesting ones. A much better bet is the book titled "Quizzing" which I found had interesting...

This is one of the most unusual books I've ever seen. It contains a virtual treasure trove of miscellaneous information that is most cleverly organised and presented. A work that you will go back to again and again. No personal library should...

I love miscellany and trivia. The original Book of Lists ranks among my favorite possessions. I received Schott's book with high hopes. Unfortunately, I have to add my name to the critics.

The book does not make good reading material because...

I'm a big fan of bathroom-reader, trivia books. I was hoping that in "Schott's..." I'd find both. Well, I was a bit disappointed.

The book doesn't so much contain articles as it has little tidbits of information. That's fine to...

A welcome addition to my collection of "Lists" books. A plethora of little known information - that may, someday, come up in a conversation and make me look smart. Ha-Ha!

If you do not already own all of the previous editions of The Book of Lists then I would recommend it. Unfortunately, most of the book is a rehash of previous editions of this series; there is very little new material here. To me, the book...

I got this book as a gift for my sister-in-law. She is very quirky and outgoing, but it is hard to figure out what gifts she might like. We haven't given it to her yet as her birthday is in a month, but we flipped through and it seems like a great...

This book is amazing! I loved it! Full of interesting facts, and the illustrations are unbelieveable, a fun book to flip through, and it makes a great gift! (teens love it!)

This is an addictive book- you cannot thumb through it without being amazed at the amount of neat facts!

My husband and I (both tried out Jeopardy as teens!) took it iwith us on a car trip and read aloud from it. Where else can you find first...

I thought this was a book to answer questions such as; Why is the sky blue?... just stuff like that; it's not at all like that...I found it boring and un-useable; and returned it.

Who, in 2005, scored his first big league run on a homer, even though he wasn't on base when the blast was hit?

Who's first career win came with a club he wasn't even on when the game started?

Better yet, ask...

This is a MUST HAVE for Ripley's fans. It is the ultimate in Ripley books. It contains beautiful color pictures, and history of all the Ripley finds and adeventures. Great book.
