The Top 10 of Everything!
This is an addictive book filled with facts and trivia. I bought it as a gift for my dad but got so hooked on reading it myself that i had to buy my own copy! I am using it as part of my quest to one day win "Who Wants to be a Millionnaire."!!!

WOW

it tellls you soo much about things and instead of like the World records does it tell you the top it tells you the top 10
a must buy

Basketball, Page 216 - Michael Jordan
There is a mistake on page 216. There is a picture of Michael Jordan about to shoot the basketball, and beside his image is a typed comment regarding him as the greatest player ever, and that he won FIVE championships with the Bulls. HE WON SIX!!!!!!

I consider myself a Michael Jordan encyclopedia. That sort of information should not be mistaken!! I don't care how "insignificant" some sections of the book are compared to others. The reality is that if you're gonna publish a book like that, get your facts straight, or hire a better editor!!
