[edit]Material

Collection
[edit]In the acknowledgements for the book, Symons says: "For the past twenty years, I've been collecting weird and wonderful facts, which I've been storing on bits of paper and, more recently, on my computer. Every few years I'll use some of it in a book or a newspaper series, but it's always been my ambition to be able to put together the most fascinating, extraordinary facts I had-or could find-in one volume."
