The Book of Predictions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Book of Predicitions was a book published in 1980 and written by David Wallechinsky, Amy Wallace, and Irving Wallace, the authors of The Book of Lists. Written in the same type of style (i.e., lists), it includes lists of predicitions by scientists, science fiction authors, politicians, and others. Other contents include:

• "18 Greatest Predictors of All Time" including The Great Pyramid of Cheops, Mother Shipton, Nostradamus, and Edgar Cayce.
• "The 6 Greatest Predictions of All Time": The Ides of March, St. Malachy's predictions of future popes, a predicition of the Titanic's sinking, and Jeane Dixon's predicition of the Assassination of John F. Kennedy.
• "The Worst Predicitions of All Time"
• The Book of Predicitions Contest. The winners receive a housekeeping robot (if available) or personal appointments with famous psychics. Winners were chosen in 1982.
