This is an oversized
collection of useful facts and trivia.
Each of thirty double-paged spreads presents a specific topic, including
the anatomy of a bicycle, different types of knots, polygons, the Fibonacci
Sequence, and musical notations, and the standardizations of paper sizes. Each section is displayed in a monochromatic
color scheme, with eye-catching graphics and photographs and fascinating
facts. The excellent page layout and
choices of typefaces and colors enhance the offered information. While the book presents, by necessity, a
cursory overview of fascinating information, it is sure to whet the interest of
its readers for more material. Highly
recommended for all libraries.
