The first “Book of General Misconceptions” in England was published in 2006. And since then, in 30 countries it has become a go-to book for those who long for truth.
Maybe you studied that “Book of General Misconceptions” and thought that now you can safely brag about your erudition. But the QI team isn’t the sort of people who allow others to indulge their self-important ignorance. So you’re holding their new book, from which fresh errors and misconceptions will keep pouring out onto you. And once you’ve read it, you’ll be a bit closer to the truth and a little less far from the abyss of your ignorance.
“Second Book of General Misconceptions” is required reading for those who proudly admit that they don’t know everything, and an ideal stick to beat those who imagine themselves to be walking encyclopedias. We are all ignorant—just in different areas—and the main thing is not to be afraid of our own misconceptions, because they can always be dispelled.
