Description

Most encyclopaedias are boring. They are so packed with worthy but dull facts that a great dealof weird and wonderful material is squeezed out. The Encyclopaedia of Everything Else takesthe opposite approach and leaves out all the dreary stuff you can find elsewhere. The result is the most fascinating, astonishing, varied and utterly useless collection ofinformation ever assembled and organized between two covers. From aardvark tooth braceletsto the genus of tropical weevils known as Zyzzyva, via Mark Twain's views about cabbages,this is a quarter of a million words of sublime pointlessness.
