Book of General Ignorance - Build up your knowledge

Book of General Ignorance is an excellent book to quickly build up your general information, it contains random information listed as headings and details (or) questions and answers with some humble pictures to make the book more fun and more useful. This book is great for all ages.

The Book of General Ignorance is the first in a series of books based on the final round in the intellectual British panel game QI, written by series-creator John Lloyd and head-researcher John Mitchinson, to help spread the QI philosophy of curiosity to the reading public. It is a trivia book, aiming to address and correct the comprehensive and humiliating catalogue of all the misconceptions, mistakes and misunderstandings in 'common knowledge' — it is therefore known not as a 'General Knowledge' book, but as 'General Ignorance'.

As well as correcting these "all-too-common" mistakes, the book(s) attempt to explain how the errors have been perpetuated, and why people believe incorrect 'facts' to be true.


The writers of the book:
                                         John Lloyd, and Mitchinson and the QI Elves
