Book Description
Entertaining, informative, and fun. Educational, trivial, and profound. Astonishing, amazing, and surprising. That’s history! Take a weird and wonderful tour of American history with this treat of stories, trivia, and facts! From Juan Ponce de León to John Wayne to Jane Doe to the little-known stories hidden inside bigger historical events, The Book of Facts and Trivia: American History combines the educational, profound, and trivial into a rich account of American history facts (and the interesting role Johns—and Juans and Janes—played along the way)! You’ll learn about the United States through hundreds of absorbing stories and interesting tidbits such as ... Our sixth president, John Quincy Adams (1767-1848), had a pet alligator while in the White House. Graceland, located in Memphis, Tennessee, is America's second-most visited home. The first is Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. In 1970, Continental Airlines made it a policy that every disembarking male passenger got a kiss on the cheek from a stewardess. Twenty to twenty-five percent of cowboys in the mid-1800s were black. The first public service announcement meant to encourage Americans not to litter appeared in 1956. Washington is the most common city/town/village name in America, followed by Springfield and Franklin. Actor Jack Black’s mother was a satellite engineer and author who worked on the Hubble Telescope. Most of the Continental Congress officially signed the Declaration of Independence on July 2, 1776 (not July 4!). The Food Marketing Institute estimates that some two million shopping carts are stolen each year. Kansas City, Missouri, leads the nation in the number of fountains inside its city limits. The Statue of Liberty is 305 feet tall with a waist that's 35 feet across. And many more American history facts! An absorbing guide to history, The Book of Facts and Trivia is a treat of stories, facts, and trivia guaranteed to both inform and entertain.

Book Description
Modern Family Challenging Trivia Quiz & Fun Facts, Early Years, Challenging is authored by a sitcom expert who penned the greatest trivia quiz books on the most popular television sitcoms (e.g., Seinfeld Trivia: Everything About Nothing, Friends Trivia: Channel Your Inner Unagi, The Big Bang Theory Trivia: Challenging, and Cheers Trivia: It’s a Little Known Fact...). His latest effort, Modern Family Trivia: Early Years, is the best source for accurate and well-written trivia questions about one of the top-rated sitcoms of the 2010s. Modern Family Trivia is the perfect book for every type of fan, whether occasional viewer or rabid enthusiast. There are 500 questions with varying degrees of difficulty within each chapter. The reader will encounter easy and moderate queries in addition to some challenging and genuine head-scratching brainteasers. Unlike most trivia books that have measly one-word answers, Modern Family Trivia provides expanded descriptions containing anecdotes, humorous dialogue, or bonus fun facts to further enhance the reading experience, making it more enjoyable and entertaining. In addition, scattered throughout the book are random text boxes featuring insider secrets about the show, its creators, the actors, and other contributors to the series.

Modern Family Trivia contains more information than any other trivia quiz book written on the subject, and the author's ingenious presentation has revolutionized the trivia quiz format, an unprecedented feat in publishing history. Modern Family Trivia commences with general information about the show and its history, which includes noteworthy facts and intriguing trivia guaranteed to educate and enthrall the reader. The following two sections address guest stars and recurring characters. Modern Family was known for signing big-name movie and television stars as well as developing some of the most unique and fascinating recurring characters in sitcom history. Thus, two chapters are specifically devoted to these illustrious scene-stealers. The show's vast guest star list featured well-known thespians, such as Kevin Hart, James Marsden, Matthew Broderick, Greg Kinnear, Elizabeth Banks, Jane Krakowski, Edward Norton, Shelley Long, Chazz Palminteri, Matt Dillon, Nathan Lane, Benjamin Bratt, Jesse Eisenberg, Leslie Mann, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jennifer Tilly, and many more. In addition, the trivia inquiry delves even deeper by spotlighting the most popular recurring characters, namely Dylan, Frank Dunphy, Gil Thorpe, Dede, Sal, Shorty, Pepper, and Javier, to mention a few. The next segment of the book covers the most memorable moments of the show which pertain to all three branches of the Pritchett family tree. The questions address broader episode plots and character storylines. The remaining eleven chapters cover specific information directly associated with the members of each family—Pritchetts (Jay, Gloria and Manny), Dunphys (Phil, Claire, Haley, Alex and Luke), and Pritchett-Tuckers (Mitch, Cam and Lily)—highlighting the most uproarious scenes and unforgettable episodes while testing the viewer’s attention to detail. There is something for everyone. Casual watchers and avid fanatics will be equally captivated by this meticulously crafted tome. Modern Family Trivia is guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment and laughter as the quiz-taker regales in reliving the finest moments of the show. Photos included, 500 questions with answers, 128 pages paperback, available digitally.
