That said, this isn't my favorite book of this type. While the book contains a wealth of fascinating information, I found its organization slightly frustrating. The stories are grouped into categories such as "Household" and "Legal Talk," instead of arranged alphabetically. As a result, it makes interesting reading but not a good reference.
