I've used this book so much over the years I wore it out. It makes for great conversation at parties etc. It has become a classic!

5.0 out of 5 stars An immense, and immensely enjoyable book to read., April 19, 1998

Unbelievable in the amount of information presented, it's been on my bedside table for just over 10 years now and I still have not come across every page. It is not just a type of encyclopedia, rather it comes across as a sort of dictionary about certain aspects of history that is actually fun to read. And that is in part of what I must stress to the future reader; it is immense, and enjoyable reading.
