Schott's Original Miscellany

Foxing to cover and pages.

Impossible to read at one sitting, but utterly unputdownable... a unique collection of fabulous trivia. What other book can boast an index that includes shoelace lengths, sign language, and the seven deadly sins, duelling and dwarves, egg sizes and election results, the names of golf strokes, a history of the Hat Tax, cricketing dismissals, nouns of assemblage, betting-odds slang and the flag of Guadeloupe...

Entertaining, unpredictable and utterly addictive...

Some shelf wear and fading.
