"Schott's Miscellany" makes few claims to be exhaustive or even practical. It does, however, claim to be essential. It will afford you great wisdom in the morning, several conversational bons mots for the afternoon, and many an enlightened smile after dark. Where else can you find, packed on to one page, the thirteen principles of witchcraft, the structure of military hierarchy, all of the clothing care symbols, a list of the countries where you drive on the left, and a nursery rhyme about sneezing? Where else, but "Schott's Miscellany", will you stumble across John Lennon's cat, the supplier of bagpipes to the Queen, and the brutal methods of murder encountered by Miss Marple? An encyclopaedia? A dictionary? An almanac? An anthology? A treasury? An amphigouri? A commonplace? A vade-mecum? Well - yes. "Schott's Original Miscellany" is all these, and, of course, more. A book like no other, "Schott's Original Miscellany" is entertaining, informative, unpredictable and utterly addictive.

Summary: Perfect Bathroom Book
Comment: A handsome little book. Sturdy and compact. Full of interesting, mostly obscure, minimalist trivia. A great gift idea.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Things you thought you'd never know
Comment: This is one of the most unusual books I've ever seen. It contains a virtual treasure trove of miscellaneous information that is most cleverly organised and presented. A work that you will go back to again and again. No personal library should be without it.

Summary: Schotts Miscelleny
Comment: This is the book for you if you are a trivial buff!! What a wealth of information you will find here. There are so many categories you can find almost anything you are looking for. I highly recomment this book if you are just looking for general facts also.
