Blue paper-covered boards with black backstrip and gilt lettering. Minor rubbing to corners. Text is clean and bright, no marks. DJ shows minor edgewear. Foreword by Dave Barry. "Why do fools fall in love? Why is it impossible to tickle yourself? Why are yawns contagious? Do you find yourself lying awake at night wondering why? Displaying an ambition that makes other trivia books look trivial, this quirky collection of Q & As dares to address matters from the mircro to the macrocosmic." (from the jacket).

Orders generally ship within two days of ordering, more often on the same day.
As often as possible, I use recycled products to package the books.
This is not only a positive for the environment, but it helps us keep shipping costs as low as possible.
Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG.
Oversized books, heavy books, and sets will often require additonal postage.
If you are ordering overseas, these extra charges may be enormous.
