Maybe you ALWAYS beat your family and friends at Trivial Pursuit. Maybe you've been dying to go on Jeopardy! and win some easy money. Maybe you got a perfect score on your SATs and you like nothing better than sitting around watching The Learning Channel. No matter how much you THINK you know, this book will reveal areas of knowledge in which you are lacking. I have always loved tests and trivia, and I was depressed when an earlier edition of this book went out of print before I could buy it. So scrounge together your nine bucks and order What Do You Know? before it's too late! It would also make the PERFECT inexpensive gift for that know-it-all in your family or office.

I bought this book to train my high school Scholars Bowl team. The depth and breadth of knowledge represented is excellent. It's particularly strong in the humanities and current events department.

I recently bought this for a friend for graduation and then bought it for myself as well. It is chalk-full of information that you find on quiz shows and in board games. Think you're a useless trivia buff? Take a look at this book; it ranges from the complex to the simple and back again.

It is good for the entire family, if you're family consists of those aged at least 16 years old. Kids won't like this because the information is not aimed at them; it is geared towards adults. It is a nice book and will keep you entertained for hours.

While many of the question in the book were interesting, they did not have that timeless quality that makes a book endearing. Readers may want to check out "The Ultimate Trivia Book: Quizzing" which I found to be very interesting and immensely enjoyable.

This book was a complete waste of money. The format/set up is horrible. Save your money!

Gee I don't know alot but this book gives me somewhere to begin the expansion of my knowledge. There needs to be updated versions of this book. Like a "What do you know from 1999?" What do you know from the 80s?" OH this could be big for whomever. But the book is a great staple for your collection. Get it and take every test and make sure what you don't know you learn.
