A fantastic book of great facts and information most readers will love.

Like most seekers of knowledge I am always searching out unusual and unique books on a wide range of topics. When I saw this huge hardcover 704 page book (The book of Unusual Knowledge) book on Amazon for a bargain price I just had to have it. The twenty two chapters cover an enormous amount of interesting and informative information on numerous topics. The chapters focus on related topics in the following areas: Movies and television, American landmarks, games people play, art and literature, all about animals, money and business, intriguing individuals, earth and the Universe, waging war, happy holidays, pop culture and games, the supernatural, history, around the world, technology and inventions, death and the macabre, politics, crime, health and the human body, music, food and drink and religion. If you love books that are full of facts and information on a wide range of subjects you need to have this book in your personal or even public library donation. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.

A lot of not true.

A lot of not true.

Random and awesome!

The book is pretty cool. I got it for my husband for Christmas. He loves knowing random facts to bring up during conversations with seriously anyone. He loved looking through this and telling me weird stuff all week long after. Great product for the price. I will most likely purchase more of the series in the future.

I've got ALL of the books in the series. I have one on my bed-side nightstand at ALL times. Supreme oddities!

Go For It!

I came across this on Amazon and was really interested but some of the reviews worried me. I thought, "What the heck, its a 704 page book for like $10 with mostly great reviews, I'll give it a whirl". So glad I did! My book arrived in prestine condition. Even if it had arrived printed upside down like some of the reviews said, I would have been ok with it and brushed it off as giving the book character. I didnt find anything cheap about the quality of the book or paper either. Mine looks like regular book pages. I made sure because this was reported from recent reviews, so I'm not sure why that has been an issue with some. Anyway, I am on page 120 and can not wait to get to this book every night before bed. It is really very interesting! Even subjects I'm typically not interested in has me yearning for more. I definitely recommend this product and would definitely buy it again. As a matter of fact I plan to. I plan to buy several copies as Christmas gifts. I'm going to keep my copy to share with my family. P.S. My only complaint is the book is advertised as Prime 2-Day Shipping and it came in 4 days. I typically take off a star for products that do not honor the TRUE Prime 2-Day Shipping they advertise but I REALLY like this book. (I say TRUE Prime 2-Day Shipping because we pay for that feature with our Prime Subscription and it does not mean a seller can for whatever reason wait several days to ship a product as long as it gets here in 2 days once it's shipped. ) ;)

Fun Read

I like to read this book for 10-15 minutes every night before bed or when I first wake up in the morning. It has short little stories or little blips about random events in history, facts on everything obscure. It's a really good way to get a varied and interesting story while pulling back on screen time when going to sleep or first thing in the morning. My boyfriend and I take turns reading it back and forth which is a nice way to make sure we spend time together and connect for a bit of time every day even when we're busy busy.

Interesting Book

At first I thought this book would be one of those “funny-books”, but it is rather interesting.

It's also a very beautiful book and it is thick- which is also what ...

We bought this book for mty mother-in-law. When she opened it, she was thrilled! She read several items to us and just couldn't get over how interesting this book is! It's also a very beautiful book and it is thick- which is also what she loved. Full of interesting facts! I highly recommend it!

Must buy book

The book is well made, the words are clear for a person with a hard time seeing small words. I love all the unusual information..

Mundane, watered down information.

Watered down info. On the positive side, a lot of gathering went into this book. The downside is that the information is related in such an incomplete, matter of fact, and uninteresting way. Many of the details that the author chose to leave out are actually dramatic and shocking, but alas, those colorful details are not in this book. The actual news articles and history books were more informative and mind boggling.

Softest Book I Have Touched

The description says this is a "padded hardcover book" and that is very true. This book is oddly soft. I gave it as a gift to my brother and the softness of the book threw him off. I flipped to a page and it said Killer bees can be angry with you for up to 24 hours. I now suspect my boyfriend might be a killer bee.

Not for young children if you are cautious

I bought this for a young child who loves to read and learn. I didn't care for all of the material. The book is huge, which I liked, but there is no way I'm going to preview the whole thing! I'm also not inclined to limit the reading of it to when I can make time to read it aloud, essentially limiting my independent children. Personally, I don't care to read or learn about some of those topics myself, regardless of whether my children read it or not. I'd be very interested in a 'G' rated version that I could confidently give to my curious learners so that they could enjoy it freely. Other than that, if you're fine with the content, the book is nice. It's large, filled with tons of information, and is sturdy. I like the look and design of it too. Would look wonderful out on a table or on a bookshelf. I also wish the different books were more distinguishable. I couldn't really tell what types of information would be different in the different books in this series. Highly recommend the publisher include some of the most controversial samples from the book in the listing so that parents would be aware of what they're getting ahead of time.

HUGE and surprisingly light

I haven't cracked it open but I know it's gonna be a fun ride on the can.

Great Book

I bought this book as a joke gift for my husband because he loves learning and sharing random and sometimes useless facts with me. It turns out he really liked the book and it definitely backfired because I supplied him with material to share with me! haha! All jokes aside, it is a cool book and very reasonably priced, and I was happy to see that there are more like it because I think they will make a fun series to have on the book shelf.

Tom Jones

Tom Jones. It's not unusual.

Very Interesting Book

If you enjoy reading about different & unusual things, then you will enjoy this book.

Interesting Book, Flimsy Made

It doesn’t have sturdy binding at all, I just received it today. The book itself is interesting and looks like it will be fun to read. However, it will probably fall apart soon. I’m hoping I receive one better made because I’m returning this one.

Fun to Read One Section at a Time

My wife and I like to have a book that we can read to each other alternately every night, and The Book of Unusual Knowledge fits the bill nicely. We haven't gotten very far in it, but what we've read about movies and Hollywood has been stuff we didn't already know. It's well written and fun so far. Also, we love the look and feel of the book; it has great physical presence.

Great Quality!

Surprisingly great quality. The cover is thick and appears to be pretty durable. Content is indeed filled with unusual knowledge. Great buy!

Redundant information but worth the read!

If you’re a fan of unusual knowledge there’s a lot in here that isn’t that new or unusual. However I would say that the stuff I wasn’t aware of makes the book worth the purchase. If someone doesn’t pay much attention to that stuff this will be extremely entertaining. Good gift for any occasion!

Inaccurate description

This book seems to be filled with amazing content however. Someone really decided that upside down and backwards was a great publishing effect for this book. I'm glad my dad has a sense of humor so maybe he will still appreciate it however it is still frustrating to receive a product with these character flaws.

A Hoot

If you are a fan of the Useless Knowledge series of books you will love this. More unique vignettes than trivia this is laid out in 22 chapters like Supernatural, Politics, Death and the Macabre, etc. At almost 700 pages it uses subcategories within the Chapter, In Animals it devotes 2 pages to Bats, Presidential animals (Washington had hounds, Jefferson had bear cubs) Perfect on the night stand to amuse yourself into relaxation.

Great book

What a great book of facts that you never thought of before until you read this book. Once you start reading it you will find it hard to put down. There are facts on every subject in this book and you will never loose interest. Love it ! Would recommend this to anyone who loves to learn interesting facts. I feel that this book could be read by both teens and adults.

Beautiful bindings, but the paper is so thin you’ll be very disappointed.

Wanted to love these. They will still be kept on the bookshelf. But only for very careful people that can be super gentle. The pages are so thin that if you sneeze while you’re holding one it will rip out. The pages are so thin. Afraid to use them as the pages are so thin that you can see the writing through the paper from each side. Very disconcerting. It really would not cost much to print these on good paper even halfway decent paper. Because the bindings of these books are beautiful. So shame on whoever dropped the ball. PS I bought four to be a gift. (No Way)

book

the print inside the book is upside dowm?!

Awesome book filled with interesting stuffs! Great Present!

I bought this for my dad for his birthday and he LOVES it. He instantly started scrounging the pages telling us this-and-that about random stuff he was reading about. The cover of the book has a cheap-ish feel to it, and in general it feels very light for how big it is. Overall I'm really happy with it, and I would recommend it for sure.

Gifted to 80+ year old who loves it

Bought this from Amazon after searching for "interesting gifts for old people". I bought it for my elderly father-in-law and he loves it! He has sticky notes marking what pages he finds extra interesting. The book is quite thick and is keeping him entertained, we gave it to him for Christmas and he is still looking at it daily.

Nice for the price

Book feels nice and has a nice spine. It does have a novelty vibe but for the price Nd amount of info, that dosent bother me. Don't care for the front picture but whatever. The lay out of the book is easy to read and is set up to be read in whatever chunk ur interested in. Bought for my daughter's home school, we flip a page stop and read what we land on. Its fun. Would be a fun gift for someone who love fun facts. Do recommend

Returned the book

I returned the book. Didn’t find enough interesting stuff to know.

Leftist Tinge to it, but ok

could do with a bit less preachey gratuitous propaganda. We know most white people are evil and there were black people who did stuff too.

Bought this for my Mother (95 year and still learning)

Bought this for my Mom and she lovers it. She lives in a great senior assisted living home and loves to share the newly learned bits from this book with her friends. It's a great read for a great price, note I also bought one for myself :) Best Regards, MT

Good but Not suitable for kids

Bought this for my tween nephew for Christmas and decided not to give it. Mentions of rape and sex escapades mentioned a few times. It wasn’t offensive but I just didn’t feel right giving it. I was worried about the binding of this book since so many people complained, but my book came perfectly intact. Would be a great coffee table or bathroom book.

Arrived with stains on cover

The book arrived with fingerprint smudges all over the front cover! This book is very light (not heavy) and the cover is kind of cheap looking.

Very thick book

Alot bigger book than I was expecting. I knew it was hardcover and had lots of pages but I guess I thought it was going to be smaller in dimension size. Bought it for my husband for fathers day as he enjoys that kind of info. The print is small as well but he reads a section from time to time.

Cheaply made

Cheaply made you can tell the quality of cover and bind is not good

Gift.

Bought as a gift and told the recipient it was on the way and he wasn't very interested. I got a call a few days later thanking me profusely for the great book I sent....So now I guess I'll have to get the rest of the books in the series for him.......

For fans of usless knowledge only

Ok one my son takes this book to the bathroom so i know he loves it lol. Its filled with all kinds of obscure facts. Got a trivia fan who answers questions no one ever seems to know the answer to, i swear they own this book lol Jk It's bound nicely, typeset is clear and was a smart purchase.

It made Dad smile

Dad is av avid reader, everyone knows him at the library. This books are great. Dad is 79 and he’ll read a little then go back outside. He’s taking longer breaks, which is a good thing, Heit seems like a go book…hardcover with nice paper.

Product damaged

Product arrived damaged and dirty. It also was not wrapped in anything and was very cheap looking.

Great gifts..

Every Father should have a book of knowledge to share and so I bought two for the men in my life at Fathers Day. Both my husband and son loved them!! Great item at a great price. Prompt, courteous delivery as always. Thank you!

Great book

This book is great! I bought it as a gift for my significant other and he loves it. He's nerdy and loves to show off fun random facts to his friends.

Awesome

The book definitely lives up to its title. There is a lot of really random facts in there, which is why it's so fun to read. I LOVE the fact that it came with a leather-ish cover rather than just a simple hard cover. The book is also very thick and made a great gift

Intereesting book.

This was bought for a very intelligent teenager who does not write thank you notes.

Nice looking book with interesting information

Birthday gift for my son in law.. I know he will enjoy this book

Pretty Interesting

There’s a lot of pretty interesting things in this book! I got it as a gift for my boyfriend who always seems to have random information to share. It’s thick and heavy with a puffy-like hard cover. I think the font size is perfect. My boyfriend has been quite amused by most of the information. We’ve even looked into the other books that are similar!

Binding is trash.

I bought TWO of these, both with busted bindings...even though both were new. Don't advise purchasing.

Its a fun book to give out for Christmas!

Ordered three and received 6, had to return the other 3,

Great book

This book is great! I bought it for my boyfriend who is a firefighter so he would have something to read when he’s bored at the station and it was a big hit! Some really cool stuff in it!

Lame

I though the topics covered were lame. The cover was cheap. Worthy of the price.

Great purchase

I got this for my husband who is not one to read books. This is good for him because you can just open a page anywhere and start reading. Really interesting facts and stories.

Study material for quiz night success!

We have been doing a lot of Corona quiz nights, so this book made a perfect gift for my hubby for Father's Day. Study, Score, Win!

Love it!

I got this for my husband's Christmas present and he loved it. I started reading it when he was done and it is great! I would buy it again for others...

Spot on gift!

My grandson is is 1 year away from getting his degree in history, and plans to be a teacher. He absolutely loved this book and became thoroughly engrossed in it from the moment he opened it!

New bathroom reader

Purchased as a gift for someone who has everything and enjoys TV shows like “How It’s Made” and whatnot. He was happy to receive it and I’m sure will enjoy learning random facts. The layout looked nice, print wasn’t too small, and the snippets of information weren’t too overwhelming.

Kept my Dad entertained

I sent this to my dad after he had shoulder surgery and couldn't do much. He found it entertaining and even my mom loved it. It took a long time to ship, but that was likely due to the pandemic and shipping problem.

fun book

i have been a trivia nut for years --- but it is new to my girlfriend and she seems to be enjoying it -- oh and c/o poor quality or print or falling apart -- or whatever does not seem to have any credence here

Easy read

Book was a gift for my boyfriend and he loves it! It’s super interesting and definitely an easy read, especially for those that want to pick up where they left off at any moment, whether it be the next day or the next week. The cover is super nice and not at all looks like a $10 book.

Wonderful gift for yourself or others

I sent this book to a friend who reads encyclopedias for fun. He’s always passing interesting facts to me. Should’ve bought a copy for myself.

The Book of Unusual Knowledge

Purchased for my Brother in Law for Christmas.....He loves to read and has a very High IQ so this will intrigue him to want to know more.

This is a recently made book.

Contains it's fair share of modern indoctrination, however this book is a great read when having a snack and I am not afraid to rip out a few pages.

Great

I bought this as a gift and he was impressed with the hardcover. He said it seems very durable so he doesn't have to worry too much about it getting banged up. And he loved the contents of the book! I was worried about the quality of the pages but he had no issue with it. It's a cool book you can pick up at anytime.

great read

I gave this to my boyfriend for Christmas and he said it was one of the best gifts he received! cant wait to hear all the fun facts he learns from reading this book!

Great gift idea for those . . .

I bought this as a gift for a fellow trivia lover, but sadly he will not be seeing it because I plan on keeping it for myself. I might loan it to him or just buy him his own. I love the format.

Fun Book

I bought this for my husband who does not enjoy reading. The fun facts in this book are short and interesting. He’s enjoying the book.

Cheap

Cheap

Never Stop learning

I got this to just test out the series. I love it and will be getting the other books too. They are so packed with knowledge and great for conversation. Never stop learning!

not funny

was a very boring book only read half. pretty lame

FUN STUFF! GOOD GIFT!

Book is as you would expect. Interesting facts with short blurbs of back up information. Fun to share and fun to just peruse! Good inexpensive Gift for someone.

Very Cool Stuff!

All sorts of fun facts to pass the time. The kinds of things that you can mention in casual conversations to make people believe you are a really interesting person!

Nice

It has that old feel but in a good way. Looks like thick hard cover but is softer. Much bigger than expected Perfect gift hope they like it

Not worth the Buy

I wasn’t happy with the information in the book, it was relevant. I wanted something quirky and fun but instead this book was boring and not funny. It’s just random information. Although the quality of the book was great! Very sturdy cover.

Good buy!

Bought this for a gift. I looked through it and it is a fascinating book. I will have to get one for me. Good price, looks nice.

Great gift

Bought as a gift for someone who doesn’t want or need anything. He loves it.

Great coffee table reading for guests!

Fantastic easy to pick up and open to start reading about random yet interesting facts. Well written and organized if you want to find more specific subjects too. Can’t wait to buy the rest of the collection

Disappointing

I was really disappointed in the quality of paper. It’s printed on like news paper or something. Not what I hoped for

Must have for learner's

So much random knowledge! Any one who likes learning will love this book! My ten year old was fascinated by the famous ufo sightings

great book

Lots of interesting things. This is a very big book and very fun to read. It's educational and thought provoking ( as my wife would put it ) :) nicely crafted and heavy duty this book will last a long time !! I personally would consider this book interesting short stories about facts . :)

Missing piece

Scuffed up, banged up, jacked up

Great quality!

Got this for my boyfriend’s birthday because he loves to read. (I do too!) this book is actually bigger than I thought it was going to be and thick! So many pages! I found myself reading it before I wrapped it and it’s so interesting. I might steal it from him when he’s done or even buy one for myself.

Impressive

For a book this size and the information it has it is definitely worth the price. Great gift idea.

This book is top quality!

This is a beautiful book,beautiful writing and very well written..you won't be sorry to buy it...

Great fun gift

Lots of fun facts. My dad loved it as his birthday gift since he's 84 and loves books like this!

Interesting read

Awesome! All these random facts... we’ve all picked the book up going “ hey... did you know..”

Worth it

The book is HUGE. It’s as big as Stephen kings dream catcher. Beautiful hardback and arrived fast.

Hard to put down

I bought this book as a gift for my husband. He is not a big reader, but he loves interesting facts. He’ll often send me some random fact that he has found on the internet. So I took a chance... It’s been a week and he has read for about 15 minutes every night since he’s gotten it! In the morning I’ll wake up to facts about how the army tried to use bats a bombs, or how Japanese Akitas almost went extinct. This is a super entertaining book that is hard to put down.

High quality!

Very well bound book. Quality is good. Wasn’t expecting the facts to be written in paragraphs, but still neat. Was a well appreciated Father’s Day gift.

Looks nice for a gift

It was a gift for a male friend, it looked nice with a cushioned hard back cover, he seemed to be pleased and was looking forward to reading the content

Nice gift for anyone.

Purchased as a father's day gift for my dad and he loves it! Alot of informative material included, Definitely reccomend.

Nice concept but passages are long

I bought this as a gift for my brother. The concept is nice, but I was expecting much shorter passages. This isn't something you can flip through for fun, you actually have to sit down and read it carefully

My Husband loves it.

My husband loves obscure facts and information. This book is a treasure trove. I noticed there are other books in the collection so will be adding those as Valentine, Easter, etc arrive. Attractive volume.

Fun book

Haven't tried to validate some of the things in this book but so far it is a fun read!

Gift

I bought this for a friend who is going through kemo and he enjoyed reading it during his treatment.

Great book!

i thoroughly enjoy the knowledge in this book. Therefore I bought four more for Christmas presents.

GIFT IDEA FOR YOUNG MAN

I purchased this item as a gift for another one of my son-in-laws. It was unique, totally different from the normal clothes, tie, socks, etc. presents and I think it really worked.

Perfect persent

This book is a great gift so someone who has everything! Or someone who likes knowledge! It is filled with very interesting things.

Such a unique and fascinating book!

I’m completely in love with this book! My hubby got it for me because he knows I’m the queen of “weird, random facts” and this book is basically nothing but that! It’s incredibly fascinating and you can literally open any page of the book and read because it’s all individual facts and stories so you don’t have to read it in order.

Wonderful!

Wonderful book for those who collect useless information! Makes a great coffee table book or conversation starter.

Tremendously impressive gift ....

Made a fantastic gift for the guy who has everything. Tremendously impressive gift

Husband Loves It

Got this book along with a couple of other ones that looked like a set. My husband LIVES them so I bought another set for my 25 year old son. He lives them as well.

The book of Unusual Knowledge

A perfect and unique gift for someone who has everything. He loved it.

Good book for answers to most everything

Answers all the questions....gave this to someone who is very curious.

Thick, fun, interesting, neat.

Full of interesting things I didn't know I wanted to know! Fun book, very thick, many pages, has pictures too. Fun to thumb through and pick a page or read from front to back. Pages thin like bible paper, not bad. I liked this book a lot.

Not what I was expecting at all. It was better!

Let me start off with I bought this book on a whim, without researching it or looking into it I bought it. This is an amazing book! I was very pleased and surprised with the size and the quality of this book of knowledge. So many random facts in it, I'm sure even my children will enjoy this!

Great quality/interesting content

My son loved this book! It was a last minute addition to his birthday gift and it was a big hit with our family. We had fun reading the strange things. It’s well bound and great quality for a kid who loves to collect books. I expect that it will last years.

This book is something!

It not only looks great but is full of unusual information!!!

Worth it!

Very cool book and EXCELLENT quality for the money! I was shocked how wonderful this book is made.

Full of all kinds of facts and subjects.

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for a friend. It's a great book and fun to read.

Awesome!! (Besides the defect in my copy)

I think this book is really cool to be honest. Very fun to read. A lot of interesting tidbits and stories. The 3 stars is because the covers are flipped in the copy that I received.

Great fift

I bought as a gift but read a little interesting knowledge

Good gift

Great gift. Perfect bathroom book. Nice for quick reading

lots of cool and different........

i really enjoy trivia and this book has plenty of it.

a good coffee table book
