5.0 out of 5 stars Great entertainment, November 17, 2000

By A Customer

We love this book. I bought it for my husband as a gift and we both read it. The book is written so that you can pick it up and read whatever interests you at the moment. It's a great coffee table book and full of interesting trivia.
