Do you know how many languages are spoken in Africa, when the first coffeehouse opened in New York, or how many miles the average person walks in a lifetime? You'll learn those things and much more if you read "The World's Greatest Book of Useless Information." Much of the material in the book is in fact useless, but there are several factoids in the book in areas such as science and history that are worth knowing. I received the book as a birthday gift and was especially amused by the arcane laws that are in effect in some states of the Union. The book is a fast read, so you won't waste too much time wading through the truly useless information herein.

This book is full of odd information. Some of it is useful, some are halarious and some are useless. But it is fun to read and share. We joke about my husband knowing useless information and how he should go on Jepardy, so when I found this book it was just something I HAD to buy! It made the perfect "gag" present that is giving the family info to have a chuckle over. A book to be enjoyed by all who pick it up.

Highly recommend.

Great source of superfluous information. We have all enjoyed reading it. If you love trivia this is the book you want to buy.

We love useless information in this setting and this is another of many of this author's books that we freely share under the calendar heading "Ponderous Chit Chat." This book, like all of his 'useless information' books has bits and pieces of info one can live a lifetime without, but why? Not the world's greatest but a nice addition to your collection if you like this kind of thing!

Not even an interesting evening's diversion.

Have you been introduced to the internayet? Well you can find way more useless
and way more interesting useless information in 3 minutes on the web than you
will find in this thing. Dull and boring. Not recommended.
