Reviews for The Book of Trivia and Facts: American History

"""... Teri Schlichenmeyer displays her funny bone while assembling a range on anecdotes from American history as she seeks to amuse her readers with once forgotten documented lore. ... Learn that folk hero John Wayne had plastic surgery to improve his looks, or that one and a half million new shopping carts are manufactured each year in the USA ... These and other sundry historical and often trivial descriptions are scattered throughout the pages. ... This is the sort of book that is best left on the coffee table for the casual reader to open at any page and ask the surrounding company if they're aware of these little isolated gems from earlier times."" -Portland Book Review ""...
