Misc. is a compendium of delightfully random facts from the creators of Delayed Gratification magazine
Have you ever wondered ...
How it feels to be bitten by a bullet ant?
Which literary masterpiece was eaten by its author’s dog?
When town planning ceased to be an Olympic event?
Where you should put a grockle box?
What the fastest sporting projectile is?
Whether it would be nice to live on Mars?
Why football, beards and lip-synching at weddings have all been banned?
Then you need Misc.
Misc. is a playful modern take on the classic miscellany, a delightfully random collection of facts discovered by the creators of Delayed Gratification magazine. Inside you’ll find a joyful abundance of things you didn’t know you needed to know.
In an era when it feels like you need to adopt the brace position before reading the morning’s headlines, this is a fun and frivolous book in which no one dies (except for Rasputin).
Designed to be dipped into and revisited time and time again, Misc. will spark a million spirited pub and dinner table conversations and prompt irrepressible guffaws in toilets across the globe.
Roughly a thousand fascinating, totally random croutons of information on every topic in the known universe. You'll laugh, you'll learn, but fortunately you'll be laughing so much you won't realise you've learned anything. Highly recommended! * Andrew Hunter-Murray *
Don’t even think about putting this book beside the loo. You’ll never get off the loo * Matthew Parris *
A visual feast of trivia... I love, love, loved it! * Angela Barnes *
Intriguing, entertaining and stylishly delivered * Ian Hislop *
Misc. is a bitesize delight. Every entry could be the start of a novel, they’re so telling, and niche. Joyful! * Molly Flatt *
A fantastic casserole of trivia from cover to cover * Steve Williams *
Definitely the craziest miscellany I've ever seen. And the most joyful. Loved it * Professor David Crystal *
A gleaming trove of surprising, funny and beautifully designed trivia. I love it! * Henry Eliot, Eliot's Book of Bookish Lists *
