Written by quiz writer, long-time QLLer and current Eclectic Stewart McCartney, this takes over from where John Timbs' 1841 book of the same name left off.
The book has completely new material - around 200 or so 'popular errors' from science and literature, history, sport, popular culture and so on.
Each entry will have that eyebrow raising 'I didn't know that!' or 'Surely that cannot be true!' feel.
Every one will explode a commonly held misbelief.
Published by Preface Publishing, this is available from
Amazon in hardback and Kindle format, as well as the other usual outlets.
