Strange But True: 31 Books To Leave You Asking, “Why?”

Review: "I got much more than I was expecting—679 pages of interesting facts to spit at anyone and everyone! The hardcover is gorgeous, durable, and feels very nice. The spine is protected and looks like it’ll last a while. Only issue was cosmetic, in the back was a very small dent at the top corner of the book, but that’s what happens when you buy a hardcover online. Pleasantly satisfied otherwise." - Cat

Review: "This books is full of historical oddities and the "what ifs" of history. It mentions so many cases of how events could have turned out differently due to some chance encounters or twist of fate. The cover mentioned how the Battle of Waterloo could have turned very differently if Napoleon had not suffered from a case of piles at an inopportune time. If is full of such "what ifs" that could have lead to a very different History of the World than what we have today. I enjoy reading about such Alternate History possibilities in real history like I read in Science Fiction. This book really makes you think about history overall and is nothing like what they teach in school. Very educational as well as enjoyable reading overall." - Mike K

Review: "Oh, where do I even begin with "Becky's Beaver Needs a Barber"? This literary gem has reshaped the way I view both beavers and the entire world of adult coloring books. Move over Shakespeare; there's a new bard in town. From the moment I laid eyes on this rhyming masterpiece, I knew I was in for a treat. Who knew that the untold story of a beaver in dire need of a trim could be so profoundly moving? The depth of character development in Becky's beaver is truly awe-inspiring. I found myself emotionally invested in the fate of that furry critter in a way I never thought possible." - Handsome Matt

Review: "I purchased this as a "silly" stocking stuffer for my husband. Once we started looking at it, we found that it actually has useful phrases to help communicate with coworkers effectively. The examples of what not to say make you laugh, because it's what you think in your head when dealing with incompetent coworkers. Then it follows up with the "correct" way to say it, which is so helpful!" - LMill

Review: "Ha ha. This cookbook is a great gag gift. But I bought it for that wonderful peach pie recipe, called Clara Janes peach pie. OMG! Best peach pie ever! This recipe is worth the whole cookbook. I could probably get myself a husband just with that pie recipe!" - Pam B.

Review: "I absolutely loved this book! The humor and wit in this book just keeps it interesting ! Even shows you pictures of devices and advertisements which was another level of fantastic! I really recommend this book! Accurate and Informative! Loved it!!!" - Michelle Adams

Review: "Do you know when your kids have those days where they want to insult you let them read this book! I gave them to all of my 5 children, my (son)daughter-in-law and daughters because this book is absolutely fantastic. It deserves a five star rating! So if you feel like you’re rotten mother, read this!😂🤣" - Susan M.

Review: "Cleveland Steamer Press knows a thing or two about fine storytelling. I expect my child will stand more erect as a result of this literary masterpiece. Truly a masterwork that will be handed down for generations to come. My entire family looks forward to consuming anything and everything Cleveland Steamer has to offer in the future!" - jimbo

Review: "Are cats one of our best friends, or are they sleeper agents of extreme political malfeasance espousing radical left wing views; where the AOC progressives meet the Stalin communism, where the need to be petted is more important than your family, as most would not see the cute kitty next door as advocating a coup to support Dumbledore theory of the doing what is needed for the good of the many, not the good of the few, or the good of the one, introducing the darkness of the Greatest Good…." - Thomas G OSullivan

Review: "If you like clever dark humor this is for you! It's entertaining, creative and even a bit disturbing!" - Alyssa

Review: "When I saw this on Amazon I thought, "This can't be real." Naturally, I ordered it. And it's real. Lol. I don't listen to Snoop's music (or any rap, really), but I still enjoy when he dips into other things I'm into. Like cooking! This is a thick book with a ton of great-looking recipes. Snoop and the Goon (I guess his name is E-40?) came up with some delicious stuff that even my kids wanted to try. Popsicles will forever be Pop-sizzles to me now." - T. Truitt

Review: "This is the best sort of book. Witty, informative; and beautiful illustrated. I’ll be proudly displaying mine and definitely giving some as gifts to all of my outdoorsy friends." - Elizabeth

Review: "I sent the book to a bride, along with a note regarding marrying in the 1950s vs. 2021. She sent a note right away saying how much she loved it. Her words, not mine! I highly recommend this book as a gag gift for anyone who has a good sense of humor. I read part of it before gift wrapping and found it to be funny and very enjoyable! Admittedly, both the bride and I are children of the '50s, so we really get it!!" - Smudge's Mom

Review: "One often missed in these compilations is the Japanese graphic novel charter. They saw what was important and used the space that normally would be used for the amendments to squeeze it in." - Aaron
