About this product

Product Information

It's shocking but irresistible. The fantastic and amazing World of Ripley's Believe It or Not® uncovers and relates curiosities from around the globe. Its full-color, oversized format and round trim make it a suitably remarkable package to display the bizarre findings of Robert Ripley, who traveled to 198 countries to research his famous newspaper cartoon strip. Starting with his first drawing in 1918 and the first Ripley museum in the 1930s, this book is filled with examples of human oddities, exotic artifacts, strange happenings, unusual inventions, marvels of nature, extraordinary achievements and coincidences. Readers will be amazed by the truly macabre world that Ripley captured. Hundreds of photographs show the real people and things that inspired the famous drawings. Exotic objects and human feats stretch the limits of the mind, body and imagination. Here readers will meet world champion chicken picker Buck Fulford who could catch, kill, cook and eat a chicken in less than two minutes; Alice Penfold who could lift her sister Mary on a stool using only her teeth; "Three Ball Charlie" who could put a tennis ball, golf ball and billiards ball in his mouth and still whistle; and Liu Ch'ung of China who has double pupils in each eye.

So amazing and excellent book.
Hi! I've wanted to obtain a book such kind of the world of Ripley's and the Guinness of Records so far. I've obtained already some of the Guinness Books so far. I bought the Ripley's book for the first time. I like to read and see the books about the amazing and curious facts from now and the past from all of the world. Especially I love to see the amazing old and rare photos from the World of Ripley's Believe It or Not by Julie Mooney. Thank you so much in advance for your kind attention. Best regards. toshimitsu4405
