Review

Harry “the Hat” is a Halifax journalist and natural-born trivia
collector who has been publishing quizzes for a number of years in the
Halifax Sunday Daily News. This selection of 50 of his thematic trivia
quizzes (with answers provided at the back of the book) is intended for
the average quiz-loving Canadian who knows a lot about some things but
does not pretend to know everything about anything. Australia, Canadian
stamps, Italians, shop-a-holics, and whiskey are just a few of the quiz
subjects covered.

Harry got his start by reciting the batting averages of his favorite
baseball players during lengthy church services. This wide-ranging
collection is just the thing to pass the time on a long bus trip.
