Trivia Books

Anyone who thinks they know everything about Britney Spears needs to read this book! You'll find out things you never knew about her! These quizzes are awesome, I learned so much about Britney. There were a ton of fantastic pictures too! Any Britney Spears fan will love this book!

I happen to know the author who showed me a galley of his book, which is coming out in May, he said. The book features a simple format with something like 1,100 Q&As divided among 18 category-chapters that include "The Majors," "The LPGA," "Augusta," "Guys and Gals," "The Seventies," "Hogan, Nelson, and Snead," "Spanning the Globe," "Golf Media and Pop Culture," "Ryder Cup," and "Golf Rules, Equipment and Controversies." Readers can keep score with each hole(chapter) being a par 3, 4, or 5, and scores issued depending on how many Qs in each chapter are answered correctly. There's also a lot of great photos I had never seen before, to include "Old" and "Young" Tom Morris, Harry Vardon, Ely Callaway, Althea Gibson, Arnold Palmer, Bobby Jones with a camera, Tiger Woods, Mickey Wright, Walter Hagen, Jan Stephenson, and Laura Baugh. There's even one shot of a young Nancy Lopez about 20 years ago swinging for the fences and wearing a white miniskirt--she really does have nice legs. There are also nifty sidebars, strange-but-trues and a variety of top-ten lists. All in all, it's a terrific book because the author provides hundreds of interesting Q&As that aren't your run-of-the-mill cliche questions, although a lot of your favorite Q&As are included. It's just hard enough to be a challenge, yet "easy" enough so as not to alienate golf fans less than expert. Unlike the several other golf trivia books in existence written by people I've never heard of (and I do read a ton of golf publications and books), this one is actually authored by a veteran golf journalist who has written extensively, covering golf for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The National, Golf World, and Golf Illustrated. There's a lot of funny stuff in here as well as revelatory material. I believe Towle was getting David Feherty to write his foreword, and I know that CBS's Jim Nantz and noted golf author Curt Sampson have back-cover endorsement blurbs. Also, the cover has been significantly revised from what's pictured here on Amazon--it's a lot cooler now. Anyway, this is everything a golf trivia book should be and I love it!

This book was a great read. It was fun reading on a recent trip. It is filled with interesting facts on the Oakland Raiders. We played our own trivia game in the car (I lost). Excellent gift.

DAVID ELFIN HAS DONE IT AGAIN! He has captured the essence of D.C. baseball history in a fun and interesting trivia quiz format. Elfin must have lived the agony of having no team since the Senators left town when he was a kid. A must read for all the new baseball fans glad to have the national pastime back in the nation's capital.

So far, about half way through the book and I find the acticles as good or better than the General BR series. I love American History, and this book is quite an addictive read! Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein would be proud, as they are both written about as New Jersey residents.

If you've never read any of the Uncle John's books before, the UNCLE JOHN'S BATHROOM READER TREASURY is a great book to introduce yourself to the series. The Uncle John's books are basically books of interesting facts, stories, and trivia about different topics divided into 1-3 pages designed to be read in the short time sitting on the porcelain throne. The BATHROOM READER TREASURY includes items from the following Uncle John's books: ULTIMATE BATHROOM READER, LEGENDARY LOST BATHROOM READER, GREAT BIG BATHROOM READER, GIANT 10TH ANNIVERSARY BATHROOM READER, ABSOLUTELY ABSORBING BATHROOM READER, ALL-PURPOSE EXTR-STRENGTH BATHROOM READER, SUPREMELY SATISFYING BATHROOM READER, AHH-INSPIRING BATHROOM READER, UNSTOPPABLE BATHROOM READER, THE BEST OF UNCLE JOHNS' BATHROOM READER, GREAT BIG BATHROOM READER UNITED KINGDOM EDITION, PRESENTS BOOK OF THE DUMB, PRESENT'S MOM BATHROOM READER, BATHROOM READER PLUNGES INTO HISTORY, BATHROOM READER PLUNGES INTO THE UNIVERSE, BATHROOM READER PLUNGES INTO GREAT LIVES, FOR KID'S ONLY, ELECTRYIFYING BATHROOM READER FOR KIDS ONLY, BATHROOM READER PUZZLE BOOK #1, and BATHROOM READER PUZZLE BOKK #2.

This treasury was the first Uncle John's book that I ever read and not only did it introduce me to the series, but it turned me into a fan of the Uncle John's books. Reading this book I learned how to apply to drive the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile (something I almost did), about the real life great white sperm whale Mocha Dick that was the inspiration for Moby Dick, and how mosquitoes have influenced history. It's all in here and more. A great book not only for any trivia buff, but everyone just to use as a bathroom book for people to read.

With this book Uncle John presents to us the perfect mother's day gift. Inviting us to take some time for ourselves with a quiet soak in the tub and a great read. I liked this book because it combines the usual Uncle John humor with bizzare facts and interesting history, but is also has important things to say about the often unapreciated importance of motherhood.

Great fun book which has lots of quizzes to test you. Buy it to impress your mates when the next Star Wars films come out.

From Maynard and Namath to Parcells, Vinny & Chrebet- this book has it all. Leberfeld probably has more in depth knowledge of Jets football and its history than anyone covering the team today. If you're a Jets fan or know a Jets fan this is a must for the bookshelf collection. Every list you could imagine-David Letterman would be envious!
