A second compendium of things you didn't know, you thought you knew, you didn't want to know and things you didn't even know that you didn't know. A second book of answers to questions you didn't ask and to which you didn't even know you wanted the answers until you picked up this book. Why are the London Docks empty? What is Godwin's Law? Who were the Children of Lir? Why did the Allies paint white stripes on the wings of their aeroplanes for D Day? Why didn't I learn my lesson after I bought the first volume? All these questions are answered, along with many, many more (OK, maybe not that last one, but definitely all the others). A storehouse of treasures for you to cherish and argue about in the pub. The perfect accompaniment to "I'm So Glad You Asked Me That". What (I imagine) readers have said about "I'm So Glad You Asked Me That Again": "They say that all of life is a schoolroom. So this bloke must be in detention". "I am amazed that someone actually took the time to answer that stupid question." "Robert who?" "Maybe it doesn't answer the question of the meaning of life, the universe and everything - but at least the dolphins get the fish".

Who knew there were so many questions in the World? Well, the author does now.In this fourth edition of the highly acclaimed (by the author) book of answers to questions as diverse as "Was the first aerial bombardment from a dirigible?" to "From where does the phrase 'peter out' come?", this book is packed full of information that you never knew you wanted to know. But once you start reading, you can't put this book down. That's because the author has put glue all over the cover (joke (almost)). But it is surprisingly addictive - and you read it in commuter sized shucks, so its just right for the daily journey into the office (but not if you're driving yourself).I'm So Glad You Asked Me That Goes Fourth picks up where Book 3 left off and ends where Book 5 will start. Just the thing to fill the Christmas stockings of people that you don't really like that much, but you have to buy them a present anyway because they bought you one last year.

Was dentistry practised in Roman times? Why did they never use Winchester Rifles in World War I or II? Was Gediminas, a former Lithuanian peasant, once the most powerful man in Europe? Would a car's fuel tank explode if hit by a bullet? Why did I spend good money buying this book? All these questions are answered, along with many, many more (OK, maybe not that last one, but definitely all the others).A storehouse of treasures for you to cherish and argue about in the pub, or to improve your mind during your daily commute.

Why do golfers shout "fore" when they hit the ball? Why do you come out of a Pro Shop feeling you've just been mugged, but in a good way? What is the "Slope System"? (Actually, no one knows the answer to that). These questions and many more are answered by "The A to Z of (Amateur) Golf". From "Accessories" to "Zip", the author takes you through the terminology, the jargon, the slang, the history, the traditions, the jokes and the anecdotes that make golf the game of choice for hundreds of thousands of people around the world. It explains why the game is so challenging, why so many golfers aren't better at it and why it is sometimes such a sheer joy (or misery) to play. Please note, this is not a "how to play golf" book. If you want to know how to play golf, consult the Pro at your local club. But for everything else, this is the "must read" book for amateur golfers past, present and future.
