[.ca] Ladies' Room Reader Revisited (ISBN 1573247715)

A joy for the lover of trivia.:
This little book is stuffed full of 'female' facts from the fascinating, through to the weird and wonderful. There are eleven chapters that deal with topics such as wardrobe, love, sporting life, animal kingdom, food and celebrities. Anyone who loves trivia will find a wealth of facts to enjoy, from the origins of soap (thousands of years old...and did you know soap was found in the ruins of Pompeii?) through to the fact that Queen Christina of Sweden was so afraid of fleas that she had a miniature cannon constructed for her bedroom. The said cannon fired miniature cannonballs at the offending mites! Or did you know that you could be arrested for falling asleep in the bathtub in Detroit or that it's illegal to buy peanuts after sundown in Alabama? These are just a few of the myriad snippets to be found between the covers of this little gem.This is a book you can dip into whenever the whim takes you rather than a book you will read cover to cover and it will provide no end of fun facts for you to fascinate your friends with. Great fun.
