It's packed with useful--and not so useful--information, including the ten oddest things ever done by sleepwalkers, the number of Bob Dylan songs that contain the word "walk," and how to prepare for a trek in the jungles of Borneo.
Ever wonder what happens to the 36,000 tennis balls used at the annual Wimbledon championships? Or what was on the menu at Henry IV's coronation? Would you like to know how to master the Japanese art of packing a rucksack? Or how to say hello in 20 different languages? The delightfully eclectic, exceedingly collectable volumes in The Companion Series are bursting with useful trivia and quirky facts to amuse and amaze. Pleasingly designed, eminently browsable, downright addictive.
