Haigh--"one of the world's leading cricket writers," according to his publisher--is branching out and clearly aiming at the Schott's Original Miscellany market with this collection of wide-ranging tidbits of information. If you have an insatiable appetite for trivia (or a need for new bathroom reading), you can check out the 30 songs with the word"radio" in the title or the world's biggest employers. (No surprise, Wal-Mart is #1, but the next biggest isn't McDonald's; it's China National Petroleum.) There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to what is included here: some entries are as strange and uncategorizable as"Said of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart" (about whom, no doubt, a great many things were said) and as"Catchphrases from The Goon Show." And if you really needed a list of National Book Award winners, you could find it on the Web. But with this small volume at hand, the next time you need the measurements of a king-size bed, you'll be well prepared.
