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.

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused.

We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
