The Book of Extraordinary Facts Hardcover – September 4, 2012

Absolutely love these books and the variety of unusual facts they contain. Look at all the installments one is as good as the next

Purchased as a gift. My friend likes it!

I bought three of them, with different titles, for my library so that I could have them, study them, and learn about the facts of this world I live in. These are interesting facts, little known to the general population but I am curious and have been since childhood. These are wonderful books to compliment any office study library.Doesn't anybody READ anymore?

Nice assortment of reading that I have been using to inspire trivia questions, but I have noticed that there are a lot of urban legends and classic disproven myths that have made their way into the text and are presented as facts. So take the "facts" with a grain of salt.Since it is presented as a fun read, not a reference tome, I give it some allowance for perpetuating myths like the belief that Godzilla vs King Kong had different winners in the US version and the Japanese version (they didn't, Kong won in both). So read, enjoy, but be careful inculcating the "facts" into your brain.

I purchased several of these books for a very good deal on Amazon. I like reading about facts that I don't know about and being enlightened. While these books are jamb packed with information, they are easy to read and the pages are made of really nice paper. You almost feel like you are reading a book from an era gone by. I like ot discuss what I learned with my husband, sometimes we even look at the books together. The facts are not only interesting but a good teaching tool even at our age. It just shows there is so much out there that we didn’t know about until reading these books. Its likee getting a trivia game but not having to wait your turn. Plus you can read as much of the information on each subject or just skip onto the next fact. There is no right or wrong way to use these books but I have to tell you I am devouring them.

If you know someone that loves random fact, this is a great little gift!
