Product Description

As with the second edition, the new "A TO Z of Everything" has been updated and added to (and corrected). New material for this edition will include a Politics section revised and enlarged in the wake of the General Election and, by popular demand, a section on the derivation of phrases and sayings. Other additions include sections on county flowers, Jane Austen's characters, and the National Parks of England, Scotland and Wales. The dedicated Current Affairs section will be revised to cover the two-year period since publication of the second edition. The Music section now lists all UK No. 1 singles since 1959. (Trevor works every day of the year to ensure that the book is as up to date as possible on publication). This ever more monumental work of reference is a must-have title for your bookshelf - enjoyable to dip into, and a sheer cornucopia of fact.

About the Author

Trevor Montague has appeared on and won many TV quiz shows. The A TO Z OF EVERYTHING is a labour of love and the fruit of many years' work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quizmaster’s book, 29 Jan 2006

By	Paul Baldry (Ashington, Northumberland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: A to Z of Almost Everything: The Compendium of General Knowledge (Hardcover)

This really is the best book for all the fact-hoovers out there. It brings together information and facts that are to some pointless, but to others captivating. An excellent read or reference tool it will take pride of place next to ‘The New Penguin Factfinder’ to have almost any general knowledge question covered.

5.0 out of 5 stars It does exactly what it says on the cover!, 28 Jan 2002

By	Mark Labbett "Portlius" (South Wales) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: An A to Z of Almost Everything (Hardcover)

For quiz players, crossword addicts and people who want the definitive reference book, this is it. Perhaps a bit weak on the sports section for real buffs, and the page numbers are minute, but no other book crams so much into it, or with such accuracy and ease of use. When they take me off to that Desert Island stuff the 8 discs, this is the book I'd take

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterminders stop here., 27 Oct 2007

By	Will Joseph "Universal adventurer - travellin... (The universe is my oyster.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A to Z of Almost Everything: The Compendium of General Knowledge (Hardcover)

Anyone who longs to be the mystery person in the dark corner of the pub who wins the weekly quiz or is intent on winning Mastermind should really have this by the side of their bed, for nothing else could make the famous black chair seem less daunting.
The author has a very colorful quiz history himself having been a rather shady winner of 15-1. This great story is out there on the web and he now creates super teams to scare the pub quiz land of London to death. If you want to be in one of those teams, you have to get this book.
