Trivia quiz books are fun for people who enjoy such things, and this was a good one for old science fiction movie fans. (Or possibly that should be for fans of old science fiction movies.) I didn't know that the actor who played the mutant in This Island Earth was named Eddie Parker, but I did know the name of the spaceship was The Luna in Destination Moon. There are a hundred different quizzes, with different matching exercises and lists to put in order along with the straight questions to answer. Some of the questions are quite difficult and feature obscure bits of trivia, but some are good for novices. Assemble the Space Cadets for trivia night!
