The People's Almanac Presents the Book of Lists #2 by Irving Wallace (Bantam 1978)(031.02). Here's another big dose of what made the original Book of Lists so wildly popular. My rating: 8/10, finished 1982.

Second in the series. One of my favorite reference books.

[Abranch71 · Rating 4 out of 5]

A bit outdated (written in 1980). But that makes it even more fun to read!
