This lavishly illustrated, large format paperback presents a delightful survey of facts and trivia. It includes which fictional characters, comic strip figures and American presidents have been portrayed on screen; the movie-making proclivities of a host of world figures from Queen Victoria to Adolph Hitler; and a plethora of the ``biggest,'' ``longest,'' and ``costliest'' facts that characterize any record book of this type. A treasure trove of lore for fans of all ages, the book is also a useful tool in American history or film-study classes.… (altro)

As someone who likes to pick up a reference book and dip into pages to learn new details this is an excellent book to add to your pile of books stacked next to your favorite chair. It is very easy to read the well researched facts, and if you are searching for particular information there is also a complimentary index to help.

This has been an excellent addition to our reference shelf. As a family of homeschoolers and trivia maniacs we can't have too much of this information at our finger tips. I assume most people wouldn't devour it cover to cover, but I do find it fun just to pick up and open to a page and start reading. So I would have to give it high marks as both reference and entertainment!

Well-compiled book for all sorts of random firsts that you didn't know you needed to know before now. It's worth having it for trivia buffs, or for people who just have 5 minutes to pick up information.

Being here in the US, it's also interesting to see the firsts in the US where possible.
