Very interesting book with an unbelievable amount of facts and details.

This was bought as a Christmas present for my kid brother, but it turned into an easy go to reference book of you want a read that answers the questions "Who was the first...?" or "What was the first...?".

It is additional useful, as it's the sort of book that you can lose time with. You'll pick it up and find you're drawn into random facts you hadn't thought about, before opening the book.

My one grumble would be is it's dated now, being published in 2003
