    • Great gift and the price is very reasonable
Format: Hardcover
We got this for a friend for a birthday present. When they opened it they said this was their favorite new book. It is definitely a nerdy book but in a good way. It has a bunch of facts that are actually pretty interesting and not ones that you would necessarily know. It’s a decent price because the book looks like it is well made. Made for a great gift and didn’t have to spend a lot. ... show more

    • Interesting Facts That Will Hold Your Attention
Format: Hardcover
This book is full of interesting facts about so many different topics. Some are historic, some about animals, places we want to go see, health, even some food we want to try, and some we would not dare try! I think just about anyone can find something they would enjoy reading about. They are all short, quick reads. ... show more

    • Very informative and amusing to read.
Format: Hardcover
This is a great book for people who are interested in learning , but want to learn about unusual items in smaller amounts. There are many different items - some serious and some on the silly end. Very informative and amusing to read.

    • ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting Read, But Not Always Captivating
Format: Hardcover
The Book of Unusual Knowledge is a fun collection of random facts, trivia, and short articles. Some sections are genuinely fascinating and kept me turning the pages, while others felt a little dry or scattered. It’s definitely the kind of book you pick up in small doses rather than read straight through. The layout is nice, the topics are varied, and there’s plenty of information you won’t find in a typical trivia book. At the same time, a few entries felt more like filler than “unusual knowledge.” Still, it’s enjoyable overall — a solid coffee table or waiting-room book, great for curious minds who like learning something new each time they open it. A good buy if you like fun facts, with a few slower sections mixed in. ... show more

    • Great Book For Great Price With Intriguing Facts
Format: Hardcover
I gave this book as a Christmas gift. I had opened it and saw it had some very interesting trivia and articles of intrigue and was perfect for my son's father in law who reads and loves history or weird articles not well known. He loved it. It is made with quality, not too costly, and made a great gift. ... show more
