This new edition of the bestseller has 26% added ignorance, and is
republished in hardback to match the sequel!
At last! The sequel to the phenomenal international bestseller The
Bookof General Ignorance, with, as ever, a foreword by Stephen
Fry.
The indispensable compendium of popular misconceptions, misunderstandings
and common mistakes culled from the hit BBC show, QI. The noticeably stouter
QI Book of General Ignorance sets out to show you that a lot of what you think
you know is wrong. If, like Alan Davies, you still think the Henry VIII had six
wives, the earth has only one moon, that George Washington was the first
president of the USA, that Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, that the largest
living thing is a blue whale, that Alexander Graeme Bell invented the telephone,
that whisky and bagpipes come from Scotland or that Mount Everest is the
world’s tallest mountain, then there are at least 200 reasons why this is the book
for you.
