[David Ward · Rating 4 out of 5]

The People's Almanac #3 by David Wallechinsky (Bantam 1981) (031.02). Here's the third collection of outstanding and absolutely useless trivia. I read it cover to cover, and it's great fun to browse. My rating: 7.5/10, finished 1983.

Not as good as the first two, but it still has a fair amount of interesting articles.
