Bizarre Books: A Compendium of Classic Oddities

Bizarre Books: A Compendium of Classic Oddities by Russel Ash and Brian Lake is said to “delight every true fan of trivia and the patently absurd.”
That, in a nutshell, is me.
I love reading about and learning useless information. Actually, that’s one of the reasons why I run this website — because the web is full of useless information and I just can’t get enough of it.
Anyway, the book comes out on October 30, 2007, but you can pre-order it at Amazon.com for just over $10. I’d love to go through the pages of this book and see just what kind of strange things are listed and written about.
