The Story Behind: The Extraordinary History Behind Ordinary Objects

Wonderful and fun read!

I originally bought this for my nephew is a trivia nut but after looking through it, I decided to keep it. Sometimes you need to give some diversion to people going through a tough time. I have a friend who loves chocolate chip cookies, so I sent her some & included this history of how they came to be. I love challenging my nephew about his knowledge of trivia so I use this book to find ways to challenge his knowledge.

Nice quality! Purchased as a gift it was well liked

Always something interesting for a gift to a person who has everything. I didn't read it, but haven't heard anything back to think it wasn't a good idea.

I enjoy pop history books, especially those that explore the history of everyday objects. This book is straightforward and easy to read, with most objects covered in just two to three pages. However, I found the “TL;DR” section unnecessary—why include a feature that encourages skipping content in a book meant to be read? While there are better options available, this one is best suited for someone who enjoys trivia nights at their local bar rather than a deep dive into history.

Love reading unknown factual thing about history.
