It was interesting, I'll give it that. The author interjects his own comments humorously, sort of like your father who likes to make weird jokes and dumb puns.
But it's written in 1976. Quite a few of these are actually incorrect, they've been disproven since then. And he references eggs being expensive at 75 cents a dozen.
It's hard to take any of the facts seriously.
Still interesting to read.

Entertaining. Read it a couple years ago; Seem to recall there being duplication of factoids. Rather wish for citations.
