Customer Reviews

Even Ripley would never have believed his creation would continue so long.

I got my first Ripley's Believe It or Not! as a Birthday present when I was about 8 0r 10 years old . It was a hard cover,published in 1930 and had 172 pages.It had a picture of "The Marching Chinese" with a caption "If all the Chinese in the world were to march 4 abreast,past a given point,they would never finish passing though they marched forever and forever.Believe It or Not!,I still have that book;and I just received this "The Remarkable...Revealed",for my 73rd Birthday.Over the years,I have continued to be entertained by Ripley books and have dozens of them. This 2007 edition is excellent in every way. and the people who continue to find the things in this book are to be congratulated.The construction,paper,printing,color rendition,layout,presentation,price and everything meet the highest of standards.The illustrations have advanced magnificently since the early days of simple B & W line sketches. The only fault one might bring up is that many items have no illustrations.I have written several reviews on other Ripley publications;so I won't repeat everything here. I still find it a shame that my Daily Paper does not carry the daily "Believe It or Not !"cartoon.Thank goodness it is stll available on the "Net". I would like to make a suggestion to the people who put this book together.The web site for the daily cartoon should be shown in the book ;and when an item has no illustration,a Website for more info would be a tremendous improvement. A good example would be "Guido's Handicraft" on page 47. I have seen them and they are unbelievable!

Great book!

This is a great coffee table book or gift for someone that is fascinated with the oddities of life. It is a page turner, that is for sure. I got it for a great price and in this day of internet, it is nice sometimes to just sit down with a book and read it. From 8 to 80, anyone can enjoy this.
