This 606-page bestselling compendium of knowledge provides bite-size excerpts of noted readings in classic and modern literature, history, personal effectiveness, and the best in business and leadership – plus massive sections of "Quotes and Anecdotes," "Word Power," "Trivia to Learn By" and "Expanding Knowledge." Despite the Britishism title, the book is a clear adaptation of the Great American Bathroom Book, boasting American-English ("honor", "color" etc.) and referring to American Football as simply "Football" and referring to Football (as in the British definition, Actual Football) as "Soccer."
