Seller's Description:
Fair. The item is very worn but continues to work perfectly. Signs of wear can include aesthetic issues such as scratches, dents and worn corners. All pages and the cover are intact, but the dust cover may be missing. Pages may include moderate to heavy amount of notes and highlighting, but the text is not obscured or unreadable. May NOT include discs, access code or other supplemental materials.
Hodgman's witty insights and helpful tables reminded me of the many thoughtful conversations and insightful discussions I've had over the years. Everybody's favorite topics are included and I'd especially recommend the book to people who consider themselves lovers of trivial facts. Even though the facts are made up, the lies contained here are worth far more than mere truths.

I found this book of no literary value. Am surprised it ever made anyone's best seller list. There is no continuity, purpose or academic value to this book. I read about half of it, skipped about in the remaining chapters and regret I purchased the book. It was a "bummer"
