The Areas of My Expertise

In the great tradition of the American almanac, The Areas of My Expertise is a brilliant and hilarious compendium of handy reference tables, fascinating trivia, and sage wisdom on all topics large and small. Although bestsellers such as Poor Richard's Almanack and The Book of Lists were certainly valuable, they also were largely true. Here is a different kind of handy desk reference, one in which all of the historical oddities and amazing true facts are sifted through the singular, illuminating imagination of John Hodgman-which is the nice way of saying: He made it all up.
John Hodgman brings his considerable expertise to bear in answering all of the questions book buyers have been asking:-What are the mottoes of the 51 United States?THE ANSWER IS PROVIDED-Who were the U. S. presidents who had hooks for hands?THE ANSWER IS PROVIDED-What role does the Yale secret society "Skull and Bones" play in the secret world government?THERE IS NO SECRET WORLD GOVERNMENT-What was the menu at the first Thanksgiving, and did it include eels?Technically, that is two questions, but do not apologize, for John Hodgman shall answer them both .
