This is a useful book, full of interesting stories and facts about some of the things we use in our everyday lives and don't know their history. It's easy to read with small chapters and absolutely no boring narrations. I don't think that it's scholar knowledge but it's surely pleasant to read and will give you some interesting conversation stuff.
