A good read

Admittedly the title may be misleading (and some reviewers were not happy about that) but this book is more for reading and browsing than for reference. But, hey, it's a trivia book after all.
Extensive lists and odd facts frpm all over the place. Want to know exactly where Alfred Hitchcock appears in each of his pictures (and which one he's NOT in)? Want a list of superheoes' secret identities? They're here along with much, much more.
One caveat - this book is fairly old, so it will appeal to baby-boomers and those with a taste for pre-1970's pop culture, but won't have anything later than that.

This book has facts. Lots and lots of facts. But there's one peculiar thing about this book: instead of looking up trivia by category or genre it has the answer first. Kinda like Jeopardy. For instance, you'll look up 'Zot!' first and *then* you'll get the explanation: 'Sound of a thunderbolt in Johnny Hart's comic strip B.C.' As opposed to looking under B.C or JOHNNY HART, or THUNDERBOLT, etc. So, in other words you have to know the answer *before* you get the "question". So you can't look up entries by *subject* or *category*. There's no SPORTS, MUSIC, LITERATURE, ART, HISTORY, etc., at least by way of looking up. So unless you're a "trivia freak" or just an avid book collector I'd suggest NOT getting this book.
