Description

It's weird! It's an encyclopedia. It's Weird-o-Pedia! Check out the weird and wonderful facts in this massive encyclopedia of oddities-cover Mind and Body, Work and Play, Animals and Nature and so much more!

The next time someone tells you smugly that Pluto isn't a planet, you can counter with any one of these hundreds of weird facts and remain king or queen of the cocktail (or kegger) chatter.
  • Humans are the only animal that enjoys spicy food (there's a reason no one sells Tabasco-flavored cat food).
  • Napping can save you from a heart attack (assuming you are not operating heavy machinery at the time).
  • Psychology can assess your personality from how you dip fries in ketchup. (Nice fries, sociopath!).
  • Surfing the internet actually makes you smarter (but not as smart as reading this book will).

What's weird and smart at the same time? You after you've read this book!

Will definitely use again!

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
