Could have been really interesting, but it didn't work. It was too superficial and there were too many errors - some of them fairly elementary. If an author is trying to tell you that Elizabeth I was the niece of Mary I and that Jonathan Swift wrote Robinson Crusoe (although weirdly, later in the book the author is correctly identified as Daniel Defoe - not sure if it makes things better or worse!) then you can't put much faith in what else has been written. In other cases we are given stories to then be told that the use of the word/phrase precedes the aforementioned anecdote by however many years!

I think an approach on theme (mythology, science & maths etc) might have worked than just an alphabetical listing too, but the dip-in type of book can be quite popular in some quarters.
