Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Great New York City Trivia & Fact Book (Paperback)

What a waste of money! The author repeats old wives' tales and urban myths as if the were true. The book is obviously free of any fact-checking or copy-editing services. Let's hope the paper is quickly recycled.
