so sad
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

This book has such incredible potential, and is quite fascinating, but they obviously rushed it without editing it properly. There are many graphics with missing text, thus rendering them totally meaningless. I'm returning mine, hoping they will do a second edition with corrections. So very sad. Also, it is NOT a hardcover. The Visual Miscellaneum: A Colorful Guide to the World's Most Consequential Trivia

Cool Coffee Table Book (couple of pages appear to be missing writing)
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

I just got and have been skimming through. Some of the visual charts are more interesting to read / able to than others. However, there are plenty to choose from.

Though says hardcover, the copy I have is really a nice softcover.

I have found a couple pages that it looks like the writing didn't print properly on. Most of the pages 60-65 (may be 66) are missing writing. I haven't noticed outside these pages.

Example of pg missing text:
pg 64, Excuses Us: Reasons for Divorce
The page in my book is a collection of colored circles. Only writing besides title and reference is that purple indicates the top excuse for women and pink is the top excuse for men.
If the text does appear in someone else's book, please comment.

Overall, I am glad got the book. I'm looking forward to comments from friends and conversations that result from casual browsing.

Gorgeous- Beautifully presented information- a feast for the eye and mind
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I received this book yesterday and spent a wonderful evening pouring over each page- enjoying both the visual and mental aspects of this book! If learning was always this fun, there would be a lot more folks going after PhD's- looking for data sets that they could turn into gorgeous graphs/images. The book is funny, serious, sobering, and alarming by turns- but always stunning in it's presentation.

A wonderful coffee table book or Christmas gift.
