Have you ever participated in a trivia game
and got stuck on a term?
A2Z of Book Terms by Satabdi Mukherjee is a collection of 26
little known terms related to books. From Biopredation to Deckled Edges, each
of the term is a revealation about the world we are enthusiastic about, yet
know so little. This volume of bookish trivia is a collection that would help
you host your own bookish trivia night, or maybe just test your friends on
social media!
The trivia in the book is well researched and
each of them is quite unique. While being detailed and subjective, the
information provided is just right in terms of length and the technicalities
that the chapters have are good enough to give a basic understanding of the
term. A well researched book, the details cover the history, possible other
meanings as well as the utility of the term to create a well-rounded
understanding. Each of the chapter has a proper introduction, body and ending,
making it easy to read. The USP of the book are the 26 unique terms and their
relation to the book community. It must have taken a lot of time to zero in on
the terms to include and exclude.
I would definitely recommend the book to you
if you like to read slowly and even if you read one chapter a day, it can be
finished in less than a month, and it would not take more than 15 minutes to
read per day. The book is well formatted and can be read easily on a mobile
device or even a kindle and you wouldn’t face any issues related to font or
text.
Scoring a 4/5 for me, I would like to suggest
Satabdi to look at publishing a pocket-sized paperback and maybe a card game to
accompany it.
