Book Description
Which famous brand was known as the Mae West? Why did the "Got Milk?" ads offend the Spanish? What on earth is a face bra? The Ideas Companion has all the answers and so many more. You’ll even discover the invention that alerts one to a nuclear air strike and protects one’s cat flap—at the same time!
Ever wonder what happens to the 36,000 tennis balls used at the annual Wimbledon championships? Or what was on the menu at Henry IV’s coronation? Would you like to know how to master the Japanese art of packing a rucksack? Or how to say hello in 20 different languages? The delightfully eclectic, exceedingly collectable Companion Series volumes are bursting with useful trivia and quirky facts to amuse and amaze. Pleasingly designed, eminently browsable, downright addictive.
