Customer Reviews

Read the description, people!

The book is exactly what it says it is - it is a book of LISTS. It's list after list after list of different items. Types of Amino Acids, types of domestic beers, types of aquatic mammals, etc. It is not a book to sit down a read, that would be boring as could be. It's a useful book for people who create trivia or for as an easy reference book for educators and anybody who just wants to check something. There are things missing, of course, but if she tried to list everything in the world, the book would never end. Decent book for the purpose of lists.

I find it useful

As an advertising copywriter, I find this book extremely useful. I'm not looking for obscure information. I'm looking for a quick way to find comprehensive lists of items and/or words pertaining to a given subject. This book does just that, and does it well. I'm keeping it alongside my thesaurus and books of quotations as a helpful tool for discovering the intersections of two or more thoughts. As a reference of this kind, I'm giving the book four stars.
