Felton and Fowler's Best, Worst and Most Unusual

An excellent read - I've used this book again and again, along with its companion piece, "More Best, Worst, and Most Unusual". (If you buy the more recently published "Best, Worst and Most Unusual," you'll find that it contains both volumes in one book.) You can read about Florence Foster Jenkins, the worst soprano in the world; see pictures of the world's worst monuments; or find out what item of Napoleon's which was put up for auction and deemed MOST Unusual. At times unbelievable and hysterical (according to the authors, their own book is the worst book ever written!) this book is a must have. I would recommend buying both this volume and its companion work - you'll use it again and again.
