Description
This copious compendium of all things odd could only have come from the people at Ripley's. Every page is brimming with information and eye-popping artwork, covering the extremes of every subject imaginable. Coincidences, survival, human anatomy, explorers, villains, laws, medicine, science, sports, war, weather--these are just a few of the topics explored in this unique volume.
This one-of-kind book has proved itself to be a formidable rival of the "Guinness Book of World Records" and will be welcomed by many fans of the Ripley's TV shows, museums, and syndicated newspaper features worldwide. The new edition is a great value for the money--a full-color hardcover at a paperback price.
