- I have a Reader's Digest book of this type of stuff, though it doesn't
- mention Von Daniken. It's called _Strange Stories, Amazing Facts,_
- and is, along with _Strangest of All,_ [Frank Edwards?] one of my
- most fondly remembered books from childhood. It's full of
- "unsolvable" mysteries and silly stories, with not a shred of reference
- to back them up. But fun Fun FUN!!
