What a fine Book!, September 16, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Origins of everyday things (Hardcover)
From how the universe was formed to customs, the computer revolution, government, words and phrases...this book has it all.
First of all, this book is an attention grabber. The contents are devided into sections of How it all began, house and home, manners and customs, food and drink, fashion and beauty and so on. The layout of the pages with the beautiful pictures makes this book easy to look at and then of course to read. The topics are well written and very informative. The contents are to the point and informative; similar to the knowledge gained from an encyclopedia but this book has more of a story to tell.
It is a great book that you can pick up at random, leaf through the pages and abosorb some great information. It is worth spending some time with this book rather than in front of the tube. I recommend this book very highly to anybody who has a thirst to know how, what, when and where. It has some fascinating information on numerous subjects that will keep you occupied for hours.
