    • I bought this book for me-its now permanently w/my 74 yr old Dad!
On a whim I showed my Dad this cool book I bought, not thinking much of it because he doesn't read books anymore due to not seeing well. I stop back a few days later and he's completely emmersed in it! He loves it, and read a bunch of it with my brother! I couldn't believe it! I bought another for a friend. Im buying others in the series for my Dad & me! They are perfect! Short chapters, you can read and set the book down for later. It's absolutely fascinating! ... show more

    • I judged a book by its cover and returned it
The book shipped quickly, arrived without any damage and is an amazing buy for only ten dollars. I am sure the content is interesting (I didn’t read any of it since I was not keeping it) and would be good for personal use, but I did purchase this as a gift. I didn’t read the dimensions before hand (my fault) and I thought it might be larger, possibly something one might place on coffee table. It is rather generic in size and color, unimpressive to look at, not something that looked engaging enough to pick up and check out. Yes, I know, I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover and I might have really missed out on something wonderful. I will keep it in mind for the future, but for now it’s a no go. ... show more

    • Great book
I was expecting a book with a good amount of info, but this was bigger than I had anticipated, in the best way though! Great gift for a man who likes to sit in the bathroom for a long time, or even just someone who appreciates knowing random things!

    • I Bought This As A Bathroom Reader
I love trivia, having factoids and 'gee whiz' information at the ready to amuse and inform my friends and co-workers has long been my 'thing', so I grabbed this book so that I could read individual facts and not having to read an entire chapter, so a Book of Unusual Knowledge is right up my alley and I got this as light reading for the bathroom. Truth be told, this book has yet to see the bathroom after I started reading through the various sections and quickly picking up some random wisdom that I never knew I needed to know until just now. In fact, this book has become a favorite among my grandkids and it resides on my coffee table where everyone takes the opportunity to find out what they didn't know they needed to know. With some 700+ pages, there's something that will befuddle and amuse even the most hardened critic. It's easy to read, provides an endless stream of facts and oddball information and reading it is just good family time fun. This book is just the sort of easy reading that I like. My wife and grandkids are enjoying it as well and I just had my 7yo grandson (who must have heard his brother reading aloud) approach me and ask "Did you know.......". As soon as I've milked this book for all the facts I can get, I'm heading back to get the next similar reader. I love this book and it has already provided hours and hours of fun, excitement and belly rolling laughs. ... show more
