I bought this last time I was posted. It's really not very interesting. Lots of lists without much detail or extra information. Like top 10 cities with ______. But no story behind any of it. Not entirely all like that but overall not great.

Save your money for the Uncle John Bathroom series. I'm up to Volume 30-somethingish and every one of them has been great. From the short, interesting stories all the way to the little "footnotes" on the bottom of every page.

Wow, are you telling me that, with one easy payment of $6.65 plus tax, I can become even MORE insufferable at parties than I already am???? What a deal!

You might like the Intellectual Devotional series. It explains the topics but not too much.

I'd be very cautious to purchase at that price. It's also a boring book. I am glad though that hardback books are on SD instead of digital. Men should want a library.

If ordering it for a gift, make sure you have plenty of time to return it for another copy if needed. They apparently have no protection (not even shrink wrap plastic) and are thrown into a box with whatever else you ordered. Mine arrived without issue despite that but some of them seem to have serious issues.

You seem like a wise soul with a thirst for useless knowledge. Might Uncle Jeff also interest you in this book's little sister "The Book of Useless Knowledge?" For a small, one-time fee, you can REALLY dazzle your friends, family members, even the dog with 700+ pages of things you never needed to know. Become the envy of all your friends, or the one that the ladies want to take home at your next social gathering! 😁

My kids, 10 and 12, love this book. They don't sit there and read chapters at a time, but they love reading the interesting trivia/facts. Considering the shortness of each fact and the typeface size/settings, this isn't really meant to be in depth for adults.

Huh. A month ago this popped up and most people talked about how good it is. At least for 7 bucks.

Some of this content may be objectionable to most people. First considered purchase for a family member but after discussing the description with my wife it became a no purchase status.
