Each of these books has been critically acclaimed, achieving best-selling status and enthusiastic praise and what makes this extraordinary series unique is the way it has brought together the bizarre and the brilliant, the insightful and the eccentric.

"Diverse and thought-provoking"
I don't normally read non-fiction and bought this collection with the intention of giving it away as a present but it looked so interesting I kept it. I'm so glad I did as I might have missed reading some truly great books. Personally there was only one novel in the collection which I didn't enjoy, but the spread of content is so diverse that I think there's something here for everyone. I can't recommend this collection highly enough.
