The Cultural Literacy Trivia Guide 4th Edition: The Ultimate Quiz Show Study Guide!

The long-awaited 4th edition of the ultimate quiz show study guide is back, corrected, updated and better than ever. Game show contestants are raving about this book, including Who Wants to be a Millionaire contestant Armand Kachigian, who used information from this book to win $500,000 on the show.

What does it mean to be a cultural literate? In a nutshell, it's having information on a broad-based pyramid of facts, a literal plethora of wide ranging knowledge and the ability to recall these facts in an instant. Our 21st century has spawned culturally literate millionaires, masters of the miniscule like Brad Rutter and John Carpenter, who have buzzer-quick recall to a vast amalgam of facts. Being armed with this type of knowledge isn't going to get you that $100K job at Intel, but it does have its advantages (besides being able to win several years wages on a game show). Being the first to shout out the correct answer (or question) in a room full of people satisfies the competitive nature of the human spirit. People like being culturally literate because it's fun.

There are reasons why the Cultural Literacy Trivia Guide was the top selling trivia book in the country from 2001 to 2003. People have been using it since to win big bucks on game shows. (My editor won $500,000 on Millionaire) Now in its fourth edition, it is still the best and fastest way to arm yourself with the information you will need to be competitive in the intellectually stimulating world of game shows and trivia contests. This book, and my website based on the book, are the resources you'll need to quickly broaden your horizons into this fascinating and highly competitive world. Good luck, but most of all, have fun.

Steven Ferrill is a self-professed trivia fanatic. After his best-selling book, The Cultural Literacy Trivia Guide hit the market in 1999, he was asked to appear on hundreds of radio programs nation-wide, talking trivia. As a trivia maven, he knows what material comes up over and over again on shows like Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and Jeopardy! It took him eleven years to compile the 12,500 quick-hitting facts in this book and arrange it in an easy to study format. No other book compares when it comes to the pure volume of answers (not encumbered by unnecessary details) that you are likely to need when preparing for any type of cerebral competition. Now also online, the book and the website are the resources you will need to shove yourself in to this fascinating and highly competitive world.
