Possibly the best quiz book - in the world. - By: Mr. D. Clark, 13 Apr 2008
I'm something of a quiz fanatic, & I regularly set quizzes for my local pub, so I'm always on the lookout for good & interesting questions. This book is chock a block full of them. Marcus Berkman wrote the excellent "Brain Men" so I expected a lot, & I wasn't disappointed. What makes this book so different & so much better than most of the other quiz books out there is that this has not been put together by a `professional' question setter who is more interested in quantity rather than quality. All of the quizzes in this book were written by regular players in the popular quiz in the Prince of Wales pub quiz in Highgate in London. As a result, every different quiz in this book is lovingly crafted to appeal to an audience, & there reallly is something here for everyone, from complete novices, to Mastermind winners. Each quiz is leavened with the sort of questions which will either raise a laugh, or cause you to murmur - I never would have thought that -, & what's more, the questions seem to have been thoroughly checked as well - I couldn't find a single error in the whole thing. Either for setting quizzes, or just for you own enjoyment, this is a worthy addition to any quizzer's library.
Hugely enjoyable - and incredibly difficult - By: S. Rose, 23 Nov 2006
This is such a hugely enjoyable book that I've been spending much longer in the smalllest room of late! Can't resist trying just one more round before returning to the real world.

Although I'm disappointed by how much I don't know, unlike so many other quizzes, here almost every question is about something you reallly WANT to know the answer to.

I suspect that when I finish it, I'll simply want to start again in the hope I've remembered SOME of the answers I didn't get the first time.
