Think again...At last, one of Great Britain's most remarkable and idiosyncratic minds presents a personally illustrated guide to all you really need to know about everything. Vic Reeves - the only man ever to have met King Kong - sees things differently from you and me.

Dive in at random, and you will find that everything you thought you knew turns out to have been just that little bit wrong. Vic Reeves' "Vast Book of World Knowledge" is an education - with pictures! - a revelation, a celebration, a pontification, and an entirely magnificent aberration...Prepare to go where no-one has been before - prepare to enter the world of Vic Reeves.
