4.0 out of 5 stars has some errors, December 6, 2008
This review is from: The Other Book... of the Most Perfectly Useless Information (Hardcover)
SOME ERRORS in this book: in the chapter on "born religious affiliations":
(1) Rev. Billy Graham was NOT born a Baptist; he was instead raised in the Chalmers Reformed Presbyterian Church in N.C., and only at age 19 joined the East Palatka Baptist Church in Florida.
(2) Gladys Knight, singer, was NOT born a Mormon - she joined as a convert only in 1997 (in fact, Mormons did not even exist at that time in her rural Alabama community, even for whites; much less for blacks who were all but barred from the church universally).

I just spotted these two errors on browsing quickly a few minutes at the bookstore; I would venture to say there are numerous more errors in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous compilation, June 22, 2007
This review is from: The Other Book... of the Most Perfectly Useless Information (Hardcover)
I picked up a copy of this book and could not put it down for ages. It is replete with more trivia and odd facts that you could shake a stick at.

Many trivia books claim to be entertaining but Mitchell Symons's work really does live up to the bill matter. If you like useless information, you will love The Other Book.
