AJ Jacobs Release Date: 01 Mar 2005 Format: Paperback ISBN: 9780434013401 ISBN-10: 0434013404
On his journey, Jacobs discovers some of the strangest, funniest, and most profound facts about every topic under the sun, all while battling fatigue, the ridicule of friends and family, and the paralysing fear that attends his first real-life responsibility - the birth of his first child. Jacobs's singular feat naturally calls for some heavy intellectual lifting on his part - the entire Britannica set weighs in at a total of 9 stone. For the reader, however, The Know-It-All is part an assemblage of fascinating trivia, part hilarious journey - Bill Bryson meets Schott's Original Miscellany meets Woody Allen.
