Editorial Reviews

If Europe somehow seems farther away, there is a god reason: Thanks to continental drift, each year our continents are moving an inch away from each other. That is just one of the fabulous, wonderfully useless facts contained in infomaniac Don Voorhee's delightfully pointless series. This new paperback and NOOKbook succeeds the author's The Perfectly Useless Book of Useless Information (9780399535871). More than 800,000 copies of this series books are print.
