Recensione
There's an awful lot of nonsense that is accepted as fact and this book, compiled by Andrea Barham, goes at least part of the way to putting it right. It's informative, interesting and amusing - and it will help you settle arguments (The Times)
A really funny book... it's all there, fully researched (Richard Madeley, Richard & Judy)
Barham guides us through hundreds of common misconceptions and sets us straight clearly and entertainingly (What's On Magazine)
An excellent new book . . . Ever since Ben Schott brought out his miscellany, there has been hundreds of trivia clones released. This takes a different slant and a very welcome one . . . A great book to dip into, one that will appeal especially to fans of the programme QI (Lowestoft Journal)
Exposes many of the common myths, legends and fallacies that have become entrenched in everyday thought in a humorous fashion (Sunderland Evening Echo)
