The "Factoid Books" are ALL so AWESOME!!

It is LITERALLY crammed with great stories and fantastic artwork from a HUGE cadre of artists/writers from beginning to end!! As far as what you get for your money -- you get A LOT!! I have about 9-10 books in the series and keep picking them up when I come across them. You name the subject and they have a tome for you to dig into! I'm usually a Marvel guy, but DC (who put this set together) did a FANTASTIC job!!

"The Big Book of Losers" is the ninth in the Big Book series from Paradox Press. This volume tells you about historically bad luck, from General Custer to the Edsel to Milli Vanilli. Reading this book, you can't lose! Just be glad you're not them!

Love, Love, Love these books! Collect them all, full of all sorts of usful and interesting information!
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2002
A fantastic book! I bought this for one of my sons for Christmas, along with several other more print-oriented books. I'm not a diehard fan of books in comic format, but as I reviewed this upon arrival I was delighted to discover the depth of information provided. The wide variety of characters, the great expanse of historical periods covered and the different "genres" of loser subjects proved much more entertaining than I expected when I bought this book. Consider this one of the classier bathroom readers for the entire family!
