Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "33,000 pages, 44 million words, 10 billion years of history, 1 obsessed man [] Part memoir and part education (or lack thereof), THE KNOW-IT-ALL chronicles NPR contributor A.J. Jacobs's hilarious, enlightening, and seemingly impossible quest to read the Encyclopaedia Britannica from A to Z. [] To fill the ever-widening gaps in his Ivy League education, A.J. Jacobs sets for himself the daunting task of reading all thirty-two volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. His wife, Julie, tells him it's a waste of time, his friends believe he is losing his mind, and his father, a brilliant attorney who had once attempted the same feat and quit somewhere around Borneo, is encouraging but unconvinced. [] With self-deprecating wit and a disarming frankness, THE KNOW-IT-ALL recounts the unexpected and comically disruptive effects Operation Encyclopedia has on every part of Jacobs's life--from his newly minted marriage to his complicated relationship with his father and the rest of his charmingly eccentric New York family to his day job as an editor at Esquire. Jacobs's project tests the outer limits of his stamina and forces him to explore the real meaning of intelligence as he endeavors to join Mensa, win a spot on Jeopardy!, and absorb 33,000 pages of learning. On his journey he stumbles upon some of the strangest, funniest, and most profound facts about every topic under the sun, all while battling fatigue, ridicule, and the paralyzing fear that attends his first real-life responsibility--the impending birth of his first child. [] THE KNOW-IT-ALL is an ingenious, mightily entertaining memoir of one man's intellect, neuroses, and obsessions, and a struggle between the all-consuming quest for factual knowledge and the undeniable gift of hard-won wisdom." [jacket copy] "THE KNOW-IT-ALL is a hilarious book and quite an impressive achievement. I've always said, why doesn't someone put out a less complete version of the encyclopedia? Well done, A.J."--Jon Stewart. "I fell in love with this book on page one and I have laughed out loud on every page since. With his hilarious Britannica-fed insights on life, A. J. Jacobs uncovers the profound by way of the trivial. THE KNOW-IT-ALL is endlessly entertaining. Genius, pure."--Mary Roach. "A.J. Jacobs turns the act of reading the entire Britannica into a hilarious memoir. . . It's the stunt of the book itself that allows the funny, touching memoir to be so stuffed with nutritious bits of trivia that you feel smart for reading it."--Joel Stein, Time. Fine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in an intact NF slightly worn jacket. Quite presentable.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st edition, 5th printing ; ix, 386 p. ; 25 cm. ; ISBN: 0743250605; 9780743250603; LCCN: 2004-48233 ; LC: AE5.E44; Dewey: 031 ; OCLC: 55067170 ; Part memoir and part education (or lack thereof), The Know-It-All chronicles NPR contributor A.J. Jacobs's hilarious, enlightening, and seemingly impossible quest to read the Encyclopaedia Britannica from A to Z. ; "Mr. Jacobs incorporates stunts involving both "Jeopardy" and "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" into his adventures. And why not? Without such diversions, the reader would merely be reading about Mr. Jacobs's reading. This way, he can expand the book's entry on coffee until it mentions both a supermodel and the planet Neptune. He can also go and mingle with members of Mensa ("this, as most people know, is the society for bona fide geniuses and also Geena Davis" In its own joking way, this book really does seek a working definition of what it means to be smart."--Janet Maslin, New York Times ; blue-grey cloth in pictorial color dustjacket ; Book.

Hardcover. Reprint. Third printing. ix, [1], 386, [4] p. Additional Sources. Index. Alarmed and more than a little chagrined at the massive gaps in his personal knowledge base, Jacobs sets for himself a suitably daunting, and some might say insane, task: to fill in the holes in his Ivy-league education by reading the Encyclopaedia Britannica from A to Z. Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. DJ has slight wear and soiling.
