Peculiar Questions and Practical Answers: A Little Book of Whimsy and Wisdom from the Files of the New York Public Library by New York Public Library

2.0

A book of whimsy this is indeed. Have you ever wondered if you could have a funeral on July 4th or the nutritional value of human flesh? Look no further because people actually asked these questions from the 1940-1980s. The NYPL found these questions that had been stowed away and decided to answer them. And I found myself typing in web addresses and attempting to put books on hold. If you're curious about what readers had questions about eighty to forty years ago than this is a small little book for you!
