The Book of the Dead--LIves of the Justly Famous and the Undeservedly Obscure

by John Lloyd & John Mitchinson

"The first thing that strikes you about the dead is just how many of them there are."

Here, then, is the dictionary of the dead, an encyclopedia of the embalmed. Ludicrous in scope, whimsical in its arrangement, this wildly entertaining tome presents pithy and provacative biographies of the no longer living from the famous and permanently obscure.

Spades in hand, the authors have dug up everything embarrassing, fascinating and downright weird about the subjects' lives and added their own quniquely irreverent observations.

Organized by capricious categories--such as dead people who died virgins, who kept pet monkeys, who lost limbs, whose corpses refuse to stay put--from the inventor of the stove to the cross-dressing, bear baiting femal gangster, finally receive epitaphs they truely deserve.
