Interesting but proceed with caution
There are a lot of interesting tidbits in this book. One word of caution though, there are a number of factual errors in it. Not a ton but enough to be annoying. For example, I bet that JFK would would be fascinated to know that Andrew Jackson is the only president of Irish decent.

Not Q&A format, just fun fact list
More of a list of facts than the Q&A format I was hoping for. You have to take the fact and turn it into a question yourself (which is nice as it can sometimes be more than one question...but also a pain.Example (not direct quote) the book says something along the lines of: “Born in 1924, Jimmy Carter was the first president born in a hospital.”You can turn it into “which president was the first to be born in a hospital?” OR “What year was Jimmy Carter born?”I would not buy again had I known, however I do like the strategy they teach you if you are an avid bar trivia participant.

Almost the Best Bar Trivia Book Ever.
It's good, it's got great info. Mind you, This is not a book of questions, but a book of cool facts, many of them are common favorites of trivia game hosts, so knowing these things will likely help if you are a Pub/Bar trivia regular.My only complaint: The book is too short! A lot of white space on the pages.But it is definitely a fun book to browse.Authors, get to working on part 2 NOW! ;)

Trivia's Greatest Hits
This is the one book you'll ever need to win at pub trivia and to impress your friends. There is nothing obscure in here -- everything is a first/biggest/best/most and you'll find yourself dog-earing a lot of pages. I know quite a bit of trivia myself but nonetheless learned something new on every page.Further the material is presented quite entertainingly both in layout and prose.Most importantly for trivia buffs, I've yet to find a substantive wrong answer, likely because these facts have already been "fact-checked" by the most exacting fact-checkers of all: hyperecompetitive half-soused (a lethal combination) trivia contestants who were quite sure that his answer was wrong and theirs was right.

Great Book with one drawback
Great book, I love the simple and easy layout of the material. I am going with four stars instead of five because this isn't a question and answer trivia book, rather it is numerous statements of trivia.When my friends are over I try to take the statements to create trivia questions from the statement but it would've been nicer if the author had gone to the trouble to do that for me.

Fun, but not that helpful
Unless your quizmaster is drawing questions from this book, it's probably not actually going to help.The facts are fun, and this could be nice for trivia at home or as a gift though!

Great trivia book covering a wide range of tpoics
I'm not really into "bar trivia." I bought this book to brush up on my trivia skills in general. I've stopped paying as much attention to pop culture and this book helps fill in the blanks for trivia purposes. An excellent book to pick up and read a few pages at a time.

Confusing.
I can not understand how this book works. Answers are in the question and I guess you have to make up your own question. Very confusing with no explanation of how to use it.
