Has anyone ever looked for a needle in a haystack? At what age does one become old? Do you sweat when you are swimming? How do I get a life? These are some of the classic questions tackled over the years by the Guardian's leading cult 'Notes & Queries' column. Eternally popular, the column has spawned 8 books, 2 television series and a website. Now, the first book for 5 years, this is the ultimate collection of the very best of the columns, providing informed and ingenious answers to brainteasers that range from the profound to the preposterous and the informed to the idiotic. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
