Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. You go to school. You work hard. You go to university. You learn a lot. You're pretty pleased with yourself. You're erudite, well-read and know a whole bunch of obscure facts guaranteed at some point to appear in the questions on Mastermind or University Challenge. Then you get a job, and ten years later you stumble over Beckett but are eloquent about Big Brother and you discuss Kyle like you used to discuss Kierkegaard. Sound familiar? Well it happened to AJ Jacobs too. But he decided to do something about it. An editor at Esquire, Jacobs had built up an impressive knowledge of celebrity trivia - the cure was going to take a long time. It was big - 33,000 pages, it was heavy - 9 stone. It was the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Join Jacobs on his journey of discovery as he learns every known fact - however arcane - in the entire world. Sympathise with his long-suffering wife. Share his glee at finding a mistake. Wince with embarrassment as he fails to get into Mensa - even armed with all this information, and blows it on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Grimace as he pathetically attempts to turn every dinner party conversation to topics beginning with A - he'd only just begun then. Imagine Bill Bryson meeting Schott's Original Miscellany and Woody Allen at a party - that's The Know-It-All. Part assemblage of fascinating trivia, part journey through adulthood, all laugh-out-loud funny. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book
Condition: Good. Alarmed and more than a little chagrined at the massive gaps in his personal knowledge base, Jacobs sets for himself a suitably daunting, and some might say insane, task: to fill the holes in his education by reading the Encyclopaedia Britannica. With endearing and disarming frankness, The KNOW-IT-ALL recounts the unexpected and comically disruptive effects Jacobs's freshly harvested knowledge has on every part of his life - from his marriage to his sweetheart Julie, to his complicated relationship with his lawyer father and the rest of his charmingly eccentric New York family, to his job as an editor at Esquire. Operation Encyclopaedia tests the outer limits of Jacobs's stamina, illuminates the value of wisdom over facts, and explores the real meaning of intelligence, as he endeavours to join Mensa, get onto Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, and absorb 33,000 pages of learning. On his journey, Jacobs discovers some of the strangest, funniest, and most profound facts about every topic under the sun, all while battling fatigue, ridicule, and the paralysing fear that attends his first real-life responsibility - the birth of his first child. Jacobs's singular feat naturally calls for some heavy intellectual lifting - the entire Britannica set weighs in at a combined 125 pounds. But his brand of humour and lucid articulation of wisdom gives The KNOW-IT-ALL a thoroughly light and entertaining touch. 352 pages.
