Synopsis
If you want to know what or who was the best, worse, richest, fiercest, deadliest or simply biggest of practically anything, then this is the book for you, with over 600 lists on a diverse range of subjects. Praise for the book: "The Times" - Just as many pictures, just as much colour, but somehow more fulfilling in its desire to present 10 of everything, whereas Guiness makes do with one.

Reviews
YA?Ash has gone The Guinness Book of World Records one better. In this colorful title, he has amassed thousands of statistics on topics of popular interest, listing the 10 most (or least) common, popular, expensive, or best in each category. Despite the British bias and the author's ready admission that certain categories (populations, sporting records, movie/music entries, award winners, etc.) become instantly if not annually outdated, his treatment of popular-culture tidbits is as accurate as can be expected. The wide range of categories reported spans from the natural sciences (the Earth, universe, and human body), to entertainment (music, stage, radio, sports, and travel). Bright, splashy, full-color photos enliven the columnar text, as do relevant "Did you know" sidebars. Ash's tongue-in-cheek book is akin to David Letterman gone straight, and this bona fide Top Ten of Everything will delight and inform YAs in every kind of library.
