I was eight years old when my older brother received the original "Book of Lists" (1977) as a Christmas gift. The book compiled lists of mostly useless trivia. My family members all had fun scanning the lists, but I was the most mesmerized. To an eight-year-old list freak, The Book of Lists was like manna. Reading about people who died unusual deaths or about the shortest celebrity marriages provided endless hours of entertainment. I've always loved lists and eagerly anticipated each successive edition of the "Book of Lists." More than a decade has passed since the last version - the rather ho-hum "90s Edition." Since that time, the internet (especially google) has made these types of lists somewhat irrelevant, as anybody with a laptop can successfully build their own lists of trivia. However, it's still great fun and provides a certain nostalgia factor for those of us who grew up with this series."The New Book of Lists" brings back two of the original authors - David Wallechinsky and Amy Wallace (the third author was now-deceased Irving Wallace). This edition combines a number of old favorites (9 Disparaging Sobriquets), updates others (the 2002 Olympic ice skating scandal is added to "10 Olympic Controversies"), and includes a number of brand new lists (Oliver Stone's 12 Best Political Films). The book is perfect for bedside, as it can be digested in small portions before you slip into arcania-sated slumber. Since the first 1997 edition, numerous other books have aped the Book of Lists, but none has ever approached this series. A real winner. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Sequel Worth Reading *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2013* Like many of the other reviewers, I was first introduced to the original 'Book of Lists' as a teenager. I had received the book as a bar mitzvah gift, and I recall how I pored over the arcane facts with delight. The lists spanned from random information to lurid surveys, and I can still recite a few of the more memorable word & phrase lists to this day. Looking back, this book spawned a keen interest in trivia and a love of vocabulary, which actually relates to my profession. Now, three decades later, I picked up 'The New Book of Lists' and it's as enlightening and entertaining as the original. Replete with old favorites, updates and new 21st century categories-- this curious compendium continues to captivate!I'm very grateful for the efforts of David Wallechinsky and Irving and Amy Wallace; they have positively impacted my life. And, I know Franz Listz would be proud! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/8783300-the-new-book-of-lists-the-original-compendium-of-curious](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/8783300-the-new-book-of-lists-the-original-compendium-of-curious) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
