What the Press says:

“Trivia and hard facts about everything from popular culture to the natural world.”

Daily Mail

“Highly addictive…This book does exactly what it says on the label.”

Front Magazine

“Stuffed with interesting facts.”

The Funday Times

“A panoply of off-the-wall chart-toppers…A sort of thinking man’s Guinness Book of Records full of all sorts of intriguing information.”

The Independent

“This illustrated reference tool combines the appealing graphics and fun facts of the Guinness Book of World Records with the in-depth lists of The World Almanac and the Statesman’s Year-Book. Sure to satisfy students, general readers, and ardent trivia buffs with its wide range of hard-to-find facts, this work is recommended for all school, public, and academic libraries.”

Library Journal (USA)

Brilliant collection of invaluable information…For random facts, this gives The Guinness Book of Records a run for its money.

The Mirror

“If you’re looking for a book that someone will use, this is it. You will find stuff in here you really need to know.”

Dr. Phil (Phil McGraw) TV show (USA)

“You’ll never be short of an oddball fact again – Russell Ash’s The Top 10 of Everything straddles the gap between solid reference material and mind-boggling trivia.”

The Sunday Express

“Stuffed with interesting facts…a browser’s paradise.”

The Sunday Times

“Mention should be made in favour of The Top 10 0f Everything. Just as many pictures, just as much colour, but somehow more fulfilling in its desire to present ten of everything, whereas Guinness makes do with one.”

The Times

“This annual includes records, facts and trivia. For example, it will give you Britain’s best-selling comics, the world’s longest-running musical, the top ten soft drinks. It is a wealth of information and facts. Try and have a look at the book and you will be amazed at its contents.”

A selection of Amazon readers' reviews:

“A splendid read. Its title tells you exactly what it is: a compellingly quirky book of lists of superlatives. If you want to know who or what was or is the biggest, best, worst, richest, fiercest, deadliest or whatever of just about anything you can think of, then look no further.”

“The only reference book I think any one could actually read from cover to cover, even the most uninteresting aspects of anything can become fascinating and educational. This book is the best way I can think of to spend a whole day doing nothing while learning and being amazed at what’s possible.”

“It’s great stuff for fact magpies and essential reading for quiz-addicts, both compilers and competitors.”

“If you are a general knowledge and trivia junkie, you’ll love this book – it’s a absolute must. Makes great browse reading – you will learn something new each time you open it. Much more user-friendly and interesting than the old faithful Guinness Book of Records and even though it is a yearly publication, each edition contains different categories and top ten charts. Prepare to amaze your family and friends with your astounding knowledge!”

“For more amazing facts and info, I seriously recommend that you buy this book!”

“The Top 10 of Everything is a fact-filled and up-to-date reference work and also offers hours of fun for the casual reader, no matter what their hobbies and interests are.”
