4.0 out of 5 starsA good overview of the weirdness extant throughout history
By mumblyjoe@hotmail.com on August 20, 1997
Format: Paperback
This book presents a lot of fascinating lives through some great black-and-white comic art. The only downside to this book would be that the stories don't get as detailed as I would have liked.
Pick it up if you want to get an idea of how being different can fuel creativity.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe History of Eccentrics
By Jeffrey Plotkin on April 8, 2000
Format: Paperback
This is the second of the Big Book series, and another gem! Read it, and see what made many historical figures tick (and go cuckoo as well!). One of my favorites, one I can relate to. Can you?

4.0 out of 5 starsWhat is "weird"?
By A Customer on August 12, 1999
Format: Paperback
This book explains in a fun, great to read, way how weirdness has affected human history. From the depravity of Caligula, Hitler, and Amin, to the world changing visions of Edison, Poe, and Duncan. The foreword by Gahan Wilson puts weirdnes in it's perpsective, and tells how this book can be useful.

5.0 out of 5 starsThey are weird. Another good factoid book
By T. Robinson on October 27, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is in multiple cartoon styles. It's front to back with some of history's greatest weirdos. If you haven't tried one of the "Big Book of..." books, you should. If you get hooked, you'll get more.

Enjoy
