From the Back Cover:
Did you know THAT:

* Nicholas Parsons' GP father delivered Margaret Thatcher?

* Elvis Costello's father sang the 'I'm a Secret Lemonade Drinker' jingle for R. White's lemonade?

* Bob Marley's father was white and Liverpudlian?

or THAT:

* The Hawaiian alphabet has only twelve letters?

* Stewardess is the longest word typed with only the left hand?

* The word 'bigwig' derives from the time of Louis XIV of France, who used to wear a big wig?

WELL, YOU DO NOW!

That Book is quite unlike anything you have ever read. Frighteningly addictive and almost entirely useless information is packed onto every page - once you dip in you'll be hooked for hours ...
