I must thank Hale's kind people for my review copy.
The trivia, fun side of such a book has not been bettered since [[Toujours Tingo by Adam Jacot de Boinod]] first came out. If you're looking for an amusing gift, we can recommend [[Uglier Than A Monkey's Armpit by Dr Robert Vanderplank]] but [[First Russian Words by David Melling]] is the way ''not'' to start learning Russian.
