The Book of Extraordinary Facts

My dad loves this book as his gift. The fun facts are quick reads and interesting

I purchased several of these books for a very good deal on Amazon. I like reading about facts that I don't know about and being enlightened. While these books are jamb packed with information, they are easy to read and the pages are made of really nice paper. You almost feel like you are reading a book from an era gone by. I like ot discuss what I learned with my husband, sometimes we even look at the books together. The facts are not only interesting but a good teaching tool even at our age. It just shows there is so much out there that we didn’t know about until reading these books. Its likee getting a trivia game but not having to wait your turn. Plus you can read as much of the information on each subject or just skip onto the next fact. There is no right or wrong way to use these books but I have to tell you I am devouring them.

Absolutely fun to read through... And, it's certainly a "BIG BOOK"

Nice assortment of reading that I have been using to inspire trivia questions, but I have noticed that there are a lot of urban legends and classic disproven myths that have made their way into the text and are presented as facts. So take the "facts" with a grain of salt. Since it is presented as a fun read, not a reference tome, I give it some allowance for perpetuating myths like the belief that Godzilla vs King Kong had different winners in the US version and the Japanese version (they didn't, Kong won in both). So read, enjoy, but be careful inculcating the "facts" into your brain.

These books are fantastic. Great for light yet informativ reading. Great gift for ages 14 to 99

Good read

Love this book

Very nice size! Was torn at the front inside but I wasn’t too bothered.
