4.0 out of 5 stars "Great for Questioning Yourself or the Family", October 30, 2000
This review is from: Big Book of American Trivia (Big Book of Series) (Paperback)
I had a wonderful time just browsing through playing trivia as a soloist. Although, when I found myself involved with others the true colors of this wonderful trivia book began to shine. This book is excellent for anyone who has a fervour for good American History. You will come to find just how much you really know about the state your from or live in today. I was suprised at some of the things I was not aware of. So why not learn a little , while having a lot of fun?

By A Customer
This review is from: Big Book of American Trivia (Big Book of Series) (Paperback)
This is a terrific trivia book. I would highly reccommend all of J. Stehpen Lang's books. His questions are interesting and a pleasure to read. The author clearly is a lover of trivia and presents it in an enjoyable format.
