Ripley's Believe It Or Not Encyclopedia Of The Bizarre
Medium softcover Ripley's Believe it or Not book, "Encyclopedia of the bizarre". Book has some scuffing, scratch marks and a bend mark on back cover and there is light rippling on a few back pages and two of the last index pages have light water edge marks. Description sounds worse than it is, book is overall in good condition.
~Encyclopedia of the Bizarre is now available in a handier, more compact edition that retains every word and image of the original. From stupefying stunts to wacky world’s records, all of Ripley’s riveting findings are here, in an easy-to-browse, impossible-to-put-down color volume.
