Format: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.

An excellent way of finding out information without having to log onto the internet. Every household should have one for reference.

Compiled by an ex-Mastermind contender it seems to contain just about everything you'd want to know, and a lot of stuff you didn't even know you didn't know. quite readable for this type of Encyclopedia too, few pictures would have been nice perhaps, but not relevant to this type of book maybe. One of my favourites for my book at bedtime.
