    • A thoughtful gift full of fascinating facts
Format: Hardcover
Review Image by Marshie Marshie
My daughter picked out this book as a gift for her favorite teacher, who is always sharing insightful knowledge, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The content is incredibly diverse, covering everything from history and science to quirky trivia and pop culture, so there’s always something interesting to flip through. The quality of the hardcover feels sturdy and well-made, and with over 700 pages it has a real presence — definitely not a book that gets lost on the shelf. It’s the kind of book you can pick up for a few minutes and always learn something new, which makes it great for both casual reading and teaching inspiration. As a gift, it struck the right balance of being unique, educational, and fun. ... show more

    • Fun and Addictive Read
Format: Hardcover
I wasn’t expecting this book to be so hard to put down! It’s packed with random facts, stories, and trivia that are both entertaining and surprisingly informative. Some sections made me laugh, others made me say “wow, I had no idea.” The best part is that you don’t have to read it cover to cover—you can flip to any page and instantly find something interesting. It’s become a go-to conversation starter in my house, and even guests end up picking it up when they see it on the coffee table. If you’re curious by nature or just enjoy learning unusual things in a fun way, this is definitely worth having. It’s a big, sturdy book with tons of content, and it would also make a great gift. ... show more

My complaint is packaging. This book was shipped in a bag. Books deserve a box. I was lucky it wasn't damaged. The book itself is interesting

Got this for a dear friend who is a retired Dr who just had major back surgery! He is very smart and was highly impressed with the gift and could not wait to start reading it. The reviews were so funny about couples or friends who start reading this can’t put it down and are caught reading aloud all the facts they find interesting and actually end up making their partner or friends start to leave the room! I think this is what Cliff Claven from Cheers definitely got some of his “It’s a well know fact that,,,,”! 708 pages and I ended up buying me one so I can enlighten my 65 year old brain to run others off while I burst out these facts as I progress with the book. Told my friend that it should give him privacy as it should run away your wife to get her out of the room or start an argument if you announce all the interesting things that this book presents! We shall see after mine arrives Saturday ! Great conversation starter and ender? Ha ha’ ... show more

Bought this as a gift. The book cover detached all the way through the spine when it was opened. Cool content though.
