Customer Reviews

NICE, QUIRKY LITTLE BOOK. A FUN READ

This one dates back to 1974 and is a collection of things, in the authors' opinion, which are the best. We have, among other items, the best champagne, chocolate mousse, ice cream, Shotgun, put down of a critic, law case, horror movie and many, many other items. As the book is over thirty years old now, some of the information is dated, but it is quite fascinating to compare then to now. The book is well written, funny and informative. For a pleasing read, for an off and on read, I do recommened this one.
