Useless information - we can't get enough of it. Everywhere you look
these days there is a new book of trivia, a new web page, a new column
in the newspaper, all containing a wealth of fascinatingly useless
tidbits. Finding the answers to questions you'd never thought to ask,
reading an off-the-wall statistic, or browsing through lists of zany
facts is always a refreshing and amusing distraction from the tawdry
details of everyday life. What's What: The Encyclopedia of Useless
Information is no ordinary list of random facts. Unlike other books of
useless information, it is organised alphabetically, and full of cross
references so that all those hilarious entries can be enjoyed and shared
with other like-minded trivia fanatics. A treasure chest of a book for
anyone whose curiosity extends beyond the worthy and dull to the
eccentric and amusing!
