Review: Gift for my H.S. Grandson,he loves it. - Full of interesting facts Review: No guessing anymore! - In the days of search engines, it is a delight to find a book that has tons of the kind of information you once knew but can't recall. Though probably not designed this way, I found it a delight to read it as a novel. I would look up a concept, find it, get my answer, then continue reading that section and a few pages forward of where I started. It will be a gift for those who just don't want to "search" for every answer, but who still enjoys the joy of reading. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #155,793 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #239 in Trivia & Fun Facts (Books) #341 in Trivia (Books) #10,168 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 85 Reviews | ## Images ![The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hO0L1FATL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gift for my H.S.

But, WOW, what a treasure trove of information! It covers so many areas that it is practically mind-boggling. I checked out some areas I knew well and sure enough, there was information I didn’t know about them. I am truly impressed. If you enjoy learning this book will be a real treat. Add to what you already think you know or go off into a new area. Either way, you’ll enjoy this mighty tome!
