Great gift idea for lovers of interesting facts
I got this as part of a christmas gift for my father. He's hard to buy for so thought it was going to be more of a 'coffee table' book but he loved it so much, he finished reading it cover to cover within a month. I'm always weary of buy a 'new' book online with the possibility of getting a used book but this one definitely had the fresh book crack in the binding when he opened it. =)

Nice book to have laying around.
This is perfect to take to work and glance at when you have a job that might not allow you to sit for long periods of time. Stories are little bitty tidbits of knowledge.

Book - Strange but True Science
I bought this book for my husband, who is into all things science! He has only flicked through it so far, but there seems to be lots of interested facts and details about many different things and he's looking forward to reading it. There are a few other books in this series, that I will also be looking to buy. Arrived on time and well packaged. Nicely presented, thick book with tons of reading material.
