Customer Reviews

Excellent source of triviality

If you are looking for high brow, War and Peace type, boringly endless drivel, then don't come here. But if you are a trivia nut looking for many other sides to a subject, or just the story behind the story, you have found your home. Those that find this type of knowledge gathering stupid, get a life. No one is that brilliant, and many of the so called liberal think tank mongers who profess to be "so smart" were idiots in real life with a good PR man and ghostwriter to make them look to have prowess intellectually. Many of the new age liberal broads do this and they are as dumb as a tree stump. Buy this , if you want a source of good quick knowledge sure to entertain this summer at outdoor gatherings since many that attend are brain dead like the guy in office they probably, for some insane reason, voted for. You are sure to impress.

A stupid book

There are a series of these books that have just appeared, Book of Bizarre Truths, Book of Unusual Knowledge, Book of Misinformation, several others. They are printed in China, they list no authors, no credits of any kind. The books are filled with a pastiche of pithy "knowledge ", like, Worldwide New Year Traditions, or, What Bill Gates Did Before He Was A Billionaire. It's like scrolling on your phone. They are not badly bound, they look good on your shelf, but that's not why you buy a book, is it? Don't buy these, they are stupid books.
