The "Listen, you won't believe this" and the "Well, I never knew that" book

A fun look at USA today with the help of about 470 Snapshots culled from 26,000 published in the daily over the last twenty-five years or so. Facts, as everyone knows, are perishable so many in the book could be seriously out of date (wisely none of the sources are dated) so the Snapshots have been selected on the basis that you can relate to them, if a large number of folk believe something it's easy to relate the subject to what you might believe. I thought the thirteen sections cover most activity from private to public life. Apart from all the facts the reason I bought the book is that, as a designer, I've always enjoyed looking at the editorial graphic solutions. Not always an easy task as they have to be generic and instantly obvious. The USA Today creative team seems to have this down to a fine art now. There are only a few graphics that I thought didn't quite come off. The book, being small and thick, is sort of unwieldy but as it's a dip-into sort of publication that's no problem. If I have a criticism it's that the Snapshots should really have been just a bit bigger on the page, the margins are rather generous. Other than that I thought it was a fun read, well, really a look, for the money. My Snapshot to you is that 44% of adults don't like to receive Christmas newsletters.
