Book Comments & Discussion

UnknownSep 2011

If you have read this book and watched QI on television, you probably recognized a few of the questions from the programme. However, in the programme you will not always get to know the right answers, because it usually turns into controlled chaos after an obvious answer is given by one of the panellists. This is where the QI Book of General Ignorance comes in and saves the day. This book is not only very amusing, it also proves that 'everything you think you know is wrong', and ofcourse, gives you the correct answers instead.

Carry this book everywhere to impress your friends, frustrate your enemies and win every argument.
