THIS BOOK has airline acromyms, tongue twisters, things invented by women and the working titles of Beatles songs. There are also celebrities who own islands/went bankrupt/had liposuction/survived helicopter crashes/had hotel suites named after them/married (and divorced) their childhood sweethearts. From the author of the bestselling THAT BOOK, it has something for everyone and anyone - and more besides . . .
