Schott's Original Miscellany
There are so many useless facts in the world — why not own a book of them? Schott's Original Miscellany ($11) holds the answers to such life-altering questions as “Which Burmese kings died ‘curious deaths’?” and “Does anyone in the house have a schematic of Dante’s Inferno?” Factoids abound in this volume from Ben Schott, as does humor — making Original Miscellany a perfect holiday gift or stocking stuffer.
