Good gift Not what was expected
this is more for a reader in the family or maybe a display. it goes into detail about each fact. i figured it was going to be just bullet points. but it was very interesting. So many topics from animals to the civil war. Good for the money. very good quality

good gift!
I bought this for my grandfather, who has anything he could possibly want or need but is always willing to learn. Itâs a very interesting book & looks nice as well! Definitely makes a good gift for the person who doesnât need anything but is eager to learn âfun factsâ.

I Bought This As A Bathroom Reader
I love trivia, having factoids and ‘gee whiz’ information at the ready to amuse and inform my friends and co-workers has long been my ‘thing’, so I grabbed this book so that I could read individual facts and not having to read an entire chapter, so a Book of Unusual Knowledge is right up my alley and I got this as light reading for the bathroom.Truth be told, this book has yet to see the bathroom after I started reading through the various sections and quickly picking up some random wisdom that I never knew I needed to know until just now. In fact, this book has become a favorite among my grandkids and it resides on my coffee table where everyone takes the opportunity to find out what they didn’t know they needed to know.With some 700+ pages, there’s something that will befuddle and amuse even the most hardened critic. It’s easy to read, provides an endless stream of facts and oddball information and reading it is just good family time fun.This book is just the sort of easy reading that I like. My wife and grandkids are enjoying it as well and I just had my 7yo grandson (who must have heard his brother reading aloud) approach me and ask “Did you know…….”.As soon as I’ve milked this book for all the facts I can get, I’m heading back to get the next similar reader. I love this book and it has already provided hours and hours of fun, excitement and belly rolling laughs.

Heavy on sports (ie baseball, football etc).I expect other.Perhaps to an American audience itâs worth more than two stars.Two star rating actually based on quality of print and cover.
