I thought this book was pretty good. It was VERY interesting, funny, and I learned a lot from it.

This is another in the long list of unbelievable books filled with things that are strange,weird,astounding,that the staff of Ripley's Believe It or Not have collected from all over the world.The real fun thing with a book like this is ,just when you finish reading about one thing,you turn the page,and something even more amazing turns up.
It is a big book of 255 pages,with many hundreds of photographs.It would be exciting enough to read about these things;but having colored photographs along side,makes these things even more astounding.
The book is of excellent constrution,with first class paper,printing and color rendition.It is hard to criticize anything about this book;but I can't pass on one thing.For some unknown reason,someone,probably in the art department,has deemed it necessary to overprint with text on top of photographs and illustrations.Examples are numerous and can be seen on pages116,117,124,141,and as well as numerous small items such as Kitty Kapers and A Dog's Life on pages 146 and 147,where this overprinting serves no purpose other than to make for difficult reading.This is not only pointless,but irritating to the reader as well.
That criticism aside,this is an excellent book,and bound to interest young and old alike.

Ripley is back with more wierd facts.Thereare the wierdest facts in this book.With only 8 chapters one might think they are not goingto learn alot.You'd be surprised about the information packed in 8 chapters.So you should read this book. If you also like books with many different characters get this book because it probloby has more than 100 characters.My opinion is that this book is a good book if you like books with wierd facts.

Ordering this product was easy and the product itself was of a very good quality. Product arrived at correct time. Was very will pleased.

This book took my attention lying on waiting room table at my dentist's. I found it fascinating and noticed others
from children to adults did also.

Another in the series to amuse and amaze. Helps to remind us how diverse and sometimes bizarre the world can be.

Bought this for my grandson. Hard back - damage on outside. Glued it for him, but was very disappointed in the quality. He wanted it so I fixed it and let him have it.
