I am one who is very interested in miscellaneous information, and this book is plentiful in it. The Illustrated Reverse Dictionary is a wonderful tool for learning new things, like law terminology and types of cheeses. Don't laugh; haven't you ever wondered what Munster cheese was exactly? Haven't you ever wondered what "habeas corpus" meant? If you're hungry for knowledge and trivial facts, this book is ripe for the picking.
