Hartson's What's What

Hartson's What's What: The Encyclop'dia of Quite Extraordinary Information is no ordinary list of random facts. Unlike other books of useless information, it is organised alphabetically, and full of cross references so that the entries can be enjoyed and shared with other like-minded trivia fanatics. A treasure chest of a book for anyone whose curiosity extends beyond the worthy and dull to the eccentric and amusing!

William Hartston read Mathematics at Cambridge and is the author of many chess and useless information books. Since 1998, he has been writing the daily Beachcomber column of surreal humour for the Daily Express.
