The Book of Unusual Knowledge

We got this for a friend for a birthday present. When they opened it they said this was their favorite new book. It is definitely a nerdy book but in a good way. It has a bunch of facts that are actually pretty interesting and not ones that you would necessarily know. It’s a decent price because the book looks like it is well made. Made for a great gift and didn’t have to spend a lot.

The Book of Unusual Knowledge is a wonderful and detail book of fun facts for your brainy friend or family member. I love how big the book is and since it is hardback it feels very significant. The print is a perfect size for easy reading. I like how the book is layed out with bold print for the headings. The pages are an off white and a nice thin texture. I really appreciate the randomness of the facts and the creative ideas for topics. Perfect for entertainment and as an enjoyable read.

My daughter picked out this book as a gift for her favorite teacher, who is always sharing insightful knowledge, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The content is incredibly diverse, covering everything from history and science to quirky trivia and pop culture, so there’s always something interesting to flip through. The quality of the hardcover feels sturdy and well-made, and with over 700 pages it has a real presence — definitely not a book that gets lost on the shelf. It’s the kind of book you can pick up for a few minutes and always learn something new, which makes it great for both casual reading and teaching inspiration. As a gift, it struck the right balance of being unique, educational, and fun.

The Book of Unusual Knowledge is a fun collection of random facts, trivia, and short articles. Some sections are genuinely fascinating and kept me turning the pages, while others felt a little dry or scattered. It’s definitely the kind of book you pick up in small doses rather than read straight through. The layout is nice, the topics are varied, and there’s plenty of information you won’t find in a typical trivia book. At the same time, a few entries felt more like filler than “unusual knowledge.” Still, it’s enjoyable overall — a solid coffee table or waiting-room book, great for curious minds who like learning something new each time they open it. A good buy if you like fun facts, with a few slower sections mixed in.

I ended up with two copies, gifted one (that was well received) and have just started reading the copy I kept. Lots of fun and interesting facts about a whole range of topics. Worth the price.

I gave this book as a Christmas gift. I had opened it and saw it had some very interesting trivia and articles of intrigue and was perfect for my son's father in law who reads and loves history or weird articles not well known. He loved it. It is made with quality, not too costly, and made a great gift.

This is a fun book to read. One of my sons got it for a gift and so I bought one for another son for his birthday. I scanned it and it looks like a lot of fun reading.

Awesome gift for Christmas for my niece! She is only 11 years old, but reads like a phd candidate! Also got one for my daughter! So greatly appreciated!

I bought this for an elderly gentleman friend of mine who is hard to buy for and he loves this book, often relaying bits of info to our social group he has garnered from its pages. He says the info is fascinating and there is so much detail he does not get bored.

It was a gift and my sister loves it.
