One of the early readers, which makes for a fun read. Like the others in the series this one is packed with a plethora of information. To the fan of trivia this book is one to read.

This series is always filled with interesting little facts and stories and this edition is no different. However, something seemed to be missing just a little compared to prior editions that I've read. Still good, but pick one of the other 20 editions first if you are looking for a bathroom reader.

Abe loves these, but I find it just a little too brief--we do have several of them lying around in places where brevity is a virtue

This is just such a fun book to have around the, ahem, house. Lots of cool trivia that is interesting and funny.
