The book of firsts : who did what for the first… door Patrick Robertson

As someone who likes to pick up a reference book and dip into pages to learn new details this is an excellent book to add to your pile of books stacked next to your favorite chair. It is very easy to read the well researched facts, and if you are searching for particular information there is also a complimentary index to help.

Robertson's Book of Firsts: Who Did What for… door Patrick Robertson

Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.

This has been an excellent addition to our reference shelf. As a family of homeschoolers and trivia maniacs we can't have too much of this information at our finger tips. I assume most people wouldn't devour it cover to cover, but I do find it fun just to pick up and open to a page and start reading. So I would have to give it high marks as both reference and entertainment!

The book of firsts : who did what for the first… door Patrick Robertson

Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.

Well-compiled book for all sorts of random firsts that you didn't know you needed to know before now. It's worth having it for trivia buffs, or for people who just have 5 minutes to pick up information.

Being here in the US, it's also interesting to see the firsts in the US where possible.
