You may wish to purchase the black and white interior at a much keener price, also on Amazon, which as you will see has garnered endless 5-star reviews from readers who love it. But this is what it's about: You don't have to paddle up the headwaters of the Orinoco to be surprised by something utterly amazing. You don't have to search the markets of Samarkand and trawl the back streets of Mandalay to find the almost unbelievable, the compellingly curious, the utterly enlightening or the irresistibly odd. You just have to look in your own store cupboard. Your food and drink; your household appliances, your medicines; your own home and street; in your country, your business, your daily transport; the very words you use every day. That's what this book is about. Finding the utterly extraordinary in the ordinary. Dip into any of the topics and you'll soon be hooked. It's time to make the mundane marvellous...
