This 550 page hardcover compendium of facts from the QI team is the 7th, the largest, and the last in their series of QI Facts books. They always sell well at Boffins, which you’d expect, as most of our customers have an insatiable thirst for knowledge – even the random and sometimes trivial knowledge you get from the quirky QI people: Ego – Barbara Cartland insisted on including the title of every one of her 723 novels in her Who’s Who entry. Retail Extreme – Harrods used to sell pet leopards. Who’d have thought – Lenin spoke English with an Irish accent. Smart birds – crows can count up to six. Now if you’re a doubting Thomas, the book gives you links online to check all of the facts – and there you’ll see the source of the fact and heaps of background information. So the pedantic reader will be kept busy for weeks!
