The Book of Firsts by Ian Harrison

We know the popularity of the Guiness Book of Records so this addition will be much sought after. I grabbed it as a resource for a recent staff Trivia Night and have found it an amazing collection of history, facts and trivia. The book is really reader-friendly with lots of illustrations, time-lines and brief descriptions covering chapters as diverse as food, transport, law and order, sport and technology.
Very highly recommended for history or trivia buffs.
