Customer Reviews

something for everyone

What a wonderful book. I keep going through it and find so many fascinating facts and stories. It's a great conversation starter on almost any subject from Presidents, movies, music, history, health, money to holidays and food. I give it as gifts. People really love it. It's the Nuts!

Full of amazing stories

Of all the trivia books I have read, this is the best. Remarkably accurate, it is full of amazing stories. Did you know that in 1752 America went from September 2nd to September 14th with no days in between? Which came first--the chicken or the egg? Which president's wife and mother died on the same day in the same year? The facts are in this book. I particularly liked the way the book is organized into 18 chapters along social and scientific lines. It's easy to find nuggets of information on just about any subject. Fun to read, you could also use this book to prepare yourself to converse with and impress anybody in any field!
