Description
This is the humour book of 2009! Think you know your Vanilla Ice from your Leonardo da Vinci? Think you can tell the X-Factor from the "X-Men"? Think again...At last, one of Great Britain's most remarkable and idiosyncratic minds presents a personally illustrated guide to all you really need to know about everything. Vic Reeves - the only man ever to have met King Kong - sees things differently from you and me. This book takes us on an irresistible visual romp through his world - from exploding jellyfish to revolving toupees. Dive in at random, and you will find that everything you thought you knew turns out to have been just that little bit wrong. Vic Reeves' "Vast Book of World Knowledge" is an education - with pictures! - a revelation, a celebration, a pontification, and an entirely magnificent aberration...Prepare to go where no-one has been before - prepare to enter the world of Vic Reeves.
