This would be a great book for a coffee table - except that it is HUGE! It's hard to figure out wherer to keep it. The book itself is good.
Like Being A Kid Again

This book really brought me back to my childhood. Back to the days that my brother and I used to fight over a Ripley's book that we had when we were young. But then again, my brother and I fought over a lot of stuff when we were kids. I enjoy the book much more than any of the T.V. shows they've aired.
almost perfect, but not quite

needed more pictures of circus freaks in it. that would have helped.plus my copy smelled a wee bit funny but that's most likely not true for all of them, so forget i mentioned that.great pictures...hilarious pictures...i just thought it could have used a few more large photos of bearded women, tatooed men, and the like.
1st time Ripley reader

This is the first Ripley's book I've ever purchased, and I love it! It makes a wonderful coffee table / conversation piece. Great for readers (or readers-to-be) of all ages! Even young children will enjoy looking at some of the bizarre pictures and having an adult read the captions/short blurbs to them.
