If you're the type of persons who always bothers your friends with odd questions that no one seems to have an answer for, this is the book for you. The entire series is great with questions on every topic imaginable and answered with a biting wit that keeps it entertaining. Win bets and impress your friends with your vast new knowledge of all things odd by reading this book.

Absolutely the best trivia book out there. An awesome collection of facts about practically everything, all presented in a very humorous way. Uncle Cecil is the best teacher for all of the triva mongers out there.
This book is just chock full of tasty tidbits of knowledge.

I read all three of Cecil Adams' STRAIGHT DOPE books during a 2 1/2 week period last summer and I never felt smarter. Halfway through the first I was already looking forward to the next two.

I cannot tell you how many times I have shared facts from these three masterpieces along with whole-hearted recommendations.

If you think you still have more to learn in life or you have a friend who thinks s/he knows it all, you could do no better than THE STRAIGHT DOPE.

One last note: The next two editions are slated for release in 1998 and 2000. I'll be the first one at the bookstore on the days they come out.
