A Readable Treat

This second edition by authors David Wallechinsky and David Wallace is nearly as good as the first. There's much easy-to-read information on the world, trivia, politics, sports, history, celebrities, crime and crime solvers, etc. You can read this nicely formatted book in a few days if you want, but most people pick it up for just a few minutes and read a couple interesting facts or true stories. Either way you'll learn more about the USA and the world. This book has over 1400 pages of interesting information - read a few minutes each day and learn something new.

Classic

I've used this book so much over the years I wore it out. It makes for great conversation at parties etc. It has become a classic!

Wonderfully informative and fun to read!

I have had this book for many years and still love to pick it up every once in a while and go through it. It has great bits and pieces of history that is fascinating, funny and informative. I still recollect facts that I'd learned from the book years later and surprise people with bits of history that they never knew.

A treasure!

If I were shipwrecked on an island this is THE book I would want to have with me...kill your TV and get a copy of this book!

An immense, and immensely enjoyable book to read.

Unbelievable in the amount of information presented, it's been on my bedside table for just over 10 years now and I still have not come across every page. It is not just a type of encyclopedia, rather it comes across as a sort of dictionary about certain aspects of history that is actually fun to read. And that is in part of what I must stress to the future reader; it is immense, and enjoyable reading.
