I bought this book on a whim and when it arrived thought that I would dip into it for a few minutes - a half an hour later I was still glued to it! I never thought that I would find a book filled with trivia so rivetting. Indeed, I have now bought another five copies as Xmas pressies from Amazon (great discount - thank you!).
I am so impressed with This Book that I have now ordered the other book in the series by the same author (called 'That Book' - yes, honestly!) Cannot wait for it to arrive...

What I would like to know is where on earth the author gets all his information from? He must be a great dinner party guest!

I first learnt of this book from a radio interview the author did with the local station. The interview concentrated on the celebrity facts that the book contains. Such facts like celebs born on the same day; celebs who married another celeb and such.

However, this book contains much more interesting trivia that just celeb facts, from facts about animals to first line of famous novels.

The author himself agreed on radio that this is "a toilet book". This book is about the size of a paperback novel, at maybe just over an inch thick, so is very easy to carry about the house too.

I now regret not ordering two copies instead of one, as it would make a very good gift. Incidentally my copy has now been hijacked by the wife :-)

I bought this book (excuse the pun) and it really did grip me! Pages upon pages of things to say at dinner parties! When there's an awkward silence i'll just say "Did you know snakes mate for upto 12 hours?" (and then there'll be another awkward silence!) If you like this book you should also consider... ummm... what's that book? Oh yeah That Book. Mitchell recently wrote that other book urrr... oh yes, The Other Book!
