Vic Reeves' Vast Book of World Knowledge

by Vic Reeves

This is the humour book of 2009! Think you know your Vanilla Ice from your Leonardo da Vinci? Think you can tell the X-Factor from the "X-Men"? Think again...At last, one of Great Britain's most remarkable and idiosyncratic minds presents a personally illustrated guide to all you really need to know about everything. Vic Reeves - the only man ever to have met King Kong - sees things differently from you and me. This book takes us on an irresistible visual romp through his world - from exploding jellyfish to revolving toupees. Dive in at random, and you will find that everything you thought you knew turns out to have been just that little bit wrong. Vic Reeves' "Vast Book of World Knowledge" is an education - with pictures! - a revelation, a celebration, a pontification, and an entirely magnificent aberration...Prepare to go where no-one has been before - prepare to enter the world of Vic Reeves.

This is a great coffee table book, to pick up read a few pages and then put down, while your watching T.V.

It is full of Vic's humour and illustrations, essentially if you like him you will like this.

I picked it up for my Dad's Birthday earlier in the year, (only just got round to reading it myself), and I would recommend that it does make a great gift for any Vic and Bob fan in your life.

Do you like Vic? You'll like his art book. His sketches are great. Especially all of the noses he puts on people. I plan on making my children read this when they're small so they grow up confused about the world. It'll be simultaneous torture and brilliance. Long-term experiment. My unborn fetuses will thank me one day.

An easy silly quick read for the last day of college before the Christmas holidays begin - mass was great today!
