The Book of Lists

Blurb

The Book of Lists refers to any one of a series of books compiled by David Wallechinsky, his father Irving Wallace and sister Amy Wallace. Each book contains hundreds of lists on unusual or obscure topics, for example:
Famous people who died during sexual intercourse
The world's greatest libel suits
People suspected of being Jack the Ripper
Worst places to hitchhike
People misquoted by Ronald Reagan
Breeds of dogs which bite people the most, and the least
The first Book of Lists was published in 1977, a second volume came out in 1980 and the third appeared in 1983. Book of Lists for the 1990s was published in 1993; yet another volume, The New Book of Lists, was published in 2005. The first volume was initially controversial and banned in some libraries and parts of the United States when it was published due to, among other things, a chapter that graphically described popular sexual positions and their pros and cons. The 2005 volume was essentially "new" in name only; it was made up primarily of reprinted and updated lists selected from the first three volumes, which have gone out of print.
