Media Reviews
Imminently browsable ... should provide the trivially inclined with lots of fun. -- Publishers Weekly
There's an awful lot of nonsense that is accepted as fact and this book . . . goes at least part of the way to putting it right. It's informative, interesting and amusing and it will help you settle arguments. Times
