Synopsis
'The coolest trivia book on the shelves' - The Sunday Times
Have you ever wondered ...
How it feels to be bitten by a bullet ant?
Which literary masterpiece was eaten by its author's dog?
When town planning ceased to be an Olympic event?
Where you should put a grockle box?
What the fastest sporting projectile is?
Whether it would be nice to live on Mars?
Why football, beards and lip-synching at weddings have all been banned?
Then you need Misc.
Misc. is a playful modern take on the classic miscellany, a delightfully random collection of facts discovered by the creators of Delayed Gratification magazine. Inside you'll find a joyful abundance of things you didn't know you needed to know.
In an era when it feels like you need to adopt the brace position before reading the morning's headlines, this is a fun and frivolous book in which no one dies (except for Rasputin).
Designed to be dipped into and revisited time and time again, Misc. will spark a million spirited pub and dinner table conversations and prompt irrepressible guffaws in toilets across the globe.

About the Author
Rob Orchard, Christian Tate and Marcus Webb are the co-founders of The Slow Journalism Company, publishers of Delayed Gratification, the world's first magazine dedicated to Slow Journalism. Launched in 2011 as an antidote to a kneejerk news cycle that prioritises speed over depth, detail and context, it has gone on to attract media praise and subscribers from around the globe. Each issue returns to the events of the quarter after the dust has settled to tell the stories the rest of the media has missed – or mistold. Leading an award-winning team of international journalists, editors Rob and Marcus conduct on-the-groundreporting, interview experts and crunch through vast data sets to capture illuminating truths on subjects as varied as the prospects of cold fusion and the politics of the Eurovision song contest.
