- The Memoirs of Miss Dorothy Olivia Georgiana Peto (not on Goodreads)
- a book about slang by Susie Dent (there are multiple)
- a book about slang by Jonathan Green (there are multiple)
- Sex and Robots. I think it's probably Turned On: Science, Sex and Robots but there's also Love and Sex with Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships
- a book called Old Glory that was the source for a fact about the US flag, I couldn't figure out which one they meant
