It is just short of amazing to me how someone could find/compile this book of lists from so many people, even famous people. You've got to see the preview of the book!

The markdown is 89% from the digital list price of $27.99.

The ebook is the #2 seller in two Kindle store "reference" categories: "curiosities and wonders" and "rhetoric."

The deal expires June 30.

Lists of Note: An Eclectic Collection Deserving of a Wider Audience. By Shaun Usher. Rated 4.5 stars, but from only 13 reviews at the present moment, at Amazon; rated 3.95, from 220 ratings, at GoodReads. Print list price $40.00; digital list price $27.99; Kindle price now $2.99. Chronicle Books LLC, publisher. 327 pages. https://www.amazon.com/Lists-Note-Ec...dp/B00UBELJFK/.

Book Description
Lists of Note curates 125 unputdownable entries from a list of names that are as eclectic and intriguing as its contents, which include myriad reasons given by ancient Egyptians for missing work, Albert Einstein's demands of his estranged wife, F. Scott Fitzgerald's extensive conjugation of "to cocktail," and many more. Rarely intended for the public eye, these lists reveal hopes, priorities, and musings in a most engaging and entertaining way. Each transcript is accompanied by an artwork, most a captivating facsimile of the list itself. Richly visual and irresistibly readable, Lists of Note is a testament to the human urge to bring order to, poke fun at, and find meaning in the world around us—and is a gift of endless enjoyment and lasting value.
