�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

A collection of enquiries into the unexplained and the bizarre from the readers of "The Guardian", which includes: the goldfish with a really long memory; the mark of the beast; the final berth of Noah's Ark; imaginary refrigerators; and the surgeons who operate on themselves.

Rese�a del editor

The X-Files operates on the principle that ‘The Truth is out There Somewhere’ – we know where: it’s in the weirdly wise outpourings of the Notes & Queries writers.

A grand selection of, even by the standards of Notes & Queries, the weirdest questions and answers that have been raised from the mysterious collective consciousness. Enquiries into the unexplained: the goldfish with a really long memory; the pigeon chick that looked like a dodo; the final fate of the Marie Celeste, including a death in detitution, a lunatic and a suicide; matters divine: the mark of the beast; the masonic pyramoid on the US dollar bill; the vertical burial of the dead in Surrey; the final berth of Noah’s Ark; secret societies: the Flat Earth Society; the London Underground Cant Rail Code; C15; the Society of the Spectacle; and the just plain weird: imaginary refrigerators, the errata slip that was introduced by mistake, sheep that give birth when the tide is high (clone that!), and surgeons who operate on themselves. This lot makes the X-Files look like Gardeners’ Question Time.

Anbieterinformationen

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
