Schott's Original Miscellany (Ben Schott)
ISBN 0 7475 6320 9.
Those already aware of this book will know it is a wee gem, and indespensible if you seek trivia of any sort. Cockney rhyming slang? Colours of the Empire State Building? Commonplace French? The Scoville scale for the heat of chillies? Names of the seven dwarves? They are all there, and many more facts you never knew you needed to know.
