Book Reviews of Ripley's Believe It or Not! Seeing Is Believing!

Book Review: The world of oddities,unusual,and even unbelievable--but true,nonetheless.
Summary: 5 Stars

I have been a fan of Ripley's Believe It or Not! since i was a kid over 60 years ago. While we lost Ripley himself,all too many years ago;Ripley Entertainment has carried on with Ripley's dream of searching the world and bringing the totally unbelievable to all of us.
My large collection of BION books continues to grow,and I am always excited to find a new one being published.
The quailiy of the construction,printing,photos and illustration,continues to be as excellent as possible.Also, the things that the editors continue to bring to us keep getting better with every new book,and this one is no exception.
I have written reviews on several of the latest books,and like to talk about something different in each review. With the whole world available to look fo things to include in these books,I have noticed a lot come from Canada. The words exotic,strange,weird,amazing,etc. do not immediately come to mind when the country of Canada comes up.Quite to the contrary,Canada is about as conservative ,bland,and about as far from exotic as any country on the face of the earth, at least that is how we see ourselves ,our customs and country. Just for fun,as I went though this book I jotted down the number of times that things talked about were from Canada.I was literally shocked!! Believe It or Not!,It here were 58 of them--and Believe It or Not!,I had never heard of any of them before.Maybe another time I'll count how many things are mentioned in one of these books;it must a lot.I just made an estimate for this book using the index.There are 48 colums with about 95 items in each column --that would be about 4,560 items--Believe It or Not!.The book if loaded with hundreds of photos,again all of excellent quality.I can only imagine what a difficult task it must have been to decide what things to accompany with a photo and what had to do without.
While I was overwhelmed with the photos there were two items I would have dearly liked to have seen photos for;those being the Maize Maze on page 190 and The Hidden Talent item on page 202.---maybe I can find some on the Net.
Each new book comes up with new features to give more information to the reader;for example [...],Ripley's Ask,Ripley's Update, and lists such as Way to go! and Ancient Festivals on page 66.
The hardest thing about this book is that it is researched,and published at a cost that is so reasonable or as one has to say; Believe It or Not!.
If Ripley's Entertainment keeps publishing these wonderful books;I'll keep buying them.
