Not All of It Is Useless Information, Sep 19 2010
By Eric Mayforth - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The World's Greatest Book of Useless Information: If You Thought You Knew All the Things You Didn't Need to Know - Think Again (Paperback)
Do you know how many languages are spoken in Africa, when the first coffeehouse opened in New York, or how many miles the average person walks in a lifetime? You'll learn those things and much more if you read "The World's Greatest Book of Useless Information." Much of the material in the book is in fact useless, but there are several factoids in the book in areas such as science and history that are worth knowing. I received the book as a birthday gift and was especially amused by the arcane laws that are in effect in some states of the Union. The book is a fast read, so you won't waste too much time wading through the truly useless information herein.

Made a great gift, Dec 30 2009

This book is full of odd information. Some of it is useful, some are halarious and some are useless. But it is fun to read and share. We joke about my husband knowing useless information and how he should go on Jepardy, so when I found this book it was just something I HAD to buy! It made the perfect "gag" present that is giving the family info to have a chuckle over. A book to be enjoyed by all who pick it up.Highly recommend.

Great source of superfluous information. We have all enjoyed reading it. If you love trivia this is the book you want to buy.
