Sinopsis

A collection of enquiries into the unexplained and the bizarre from the readers of "The Guardian", which includes: the goldfish with a really long memory; the mark of the beast; the final berth of Noah's Ark; imaginary refrigerators; and the surgeons who operate on themselves.

Rese�a del editor

The X-Files operates on the principle that ‘The Truth is out There Somewhere’ – we know where: it’s in the weirdly wise outpourings of the Notes & Queries writers.

A grand selection of, even by the standards of Notes & Queries, the weirdest questions and answers that have been raised from the mysterious collective consciousness. Enquiries into the unexplained: the goldfish with a really long memory; the pigeon chick that looked like a dodo; the final fate of the Marie Celeste, including a death in detitution, a lunatic and a suicide; matters divine: the mark of the beast; the masonic pyramoid on the US dollar bill; the vertical burial of the dead in Surrey; the final berth of Noah’s Ark; secret societies: the Flat Earth Society; the London Underground Cant Rail Code; C15; the Society of the Spectacle; and the just plain weird: imaginary refrigerators, the errata slip that was introduced by mistake, sheep that give birth when the tide is high (clone that!), and surgeons who operate on themselves. This lot makes the X-Files look like Gardeners’ Question Time.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

We are a family run online bookshop based in Wales at the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National park and have been selling books online since October 2004. I have always had a love of books and it eventually got to the stage where my own book collection began to take over the family home! I reluctantly decided to sell a few of my own books on Amazon and was astonished at how quickly they sold. I was hooked and decided to start buying and selling books as a small part-time business from my spare bedroom. The business rapidly expanded, taking over the spare bedroom and my garage, swiftly followed by a spare bedroom in my mother's house and her garage! I acquired a small industrial unit in February 2007 and took the plunge to go full-time in March 2007, closely followed by my wife in September 2007. In October 2007 we moved in to larger premises and also took on our first members of staff to assist with the ever increasing workload. Our aim is to ensure that the people who buy our books enjoy the same service that we would hope for when purchasing a book ourselves. To that end, we endeavour to give all our books accurate descriptions, price them accordingly and dispatch swiftly and safely. All orders are dispatched within one working day, Monday to Friday. We will endeavour to answer all queries by email within 24 hours.
