America's Classic Lists Volume One
This treasure trove of lists is not another trivia book, but a popular reference unlike any other. Here's why: A* Each volume selectively covers cinema, geography, history, literature, music, science, sports, television, and theater, among other subjects. A* Each list is in chronological order (never alphabetical or random order). A* Each list is definitive in its field (never Top 10 or opinionated lists). A* Each list has a brief but concise introduction (with appropriate image). If a topic is interesting to Americans, it's likely one of 303 lists (in 3 volumes). Its simplicity & variety will captivate the curiosity of anyone 8 to 88 years old. Is it more educational or just plain fun? You be the judge!
