Editorial Reviews

Did You Know books tap our species' insatiable curiosity about all things we don't know. This paperback collection doesn't fall back on things we quite possibly know; its 300 fascinating facts were wrestled out of historical sources scarcely known to mortal humankind. Definitely a browse-worthy book.
