A lot of short snippets– random lists of facts, two page articles on a lot of interesting topics, longer articles on vaudville and other quirky topics. There’s a lot of readers digest like articles– strange laws, stupid burglaries, accidental discoveries– plus odd facts about toilets and sewers to fit the overall theme.
It was fun, entirely light– and entirely forgettable. There’s very little I retained– well, remembering freeform. Perhaps, if something specific came up in conversation, I might remember something more, but I don’t consider most of it added to my stock of knowledge. (Other than the extended series on the Mayflower, which was particularly interesting.)
