''I love a quiz, so the book I''m most hoping to find in my Christmas stocking is this ingenious book of literary questions, red herrings and conundrums. Much more than a straightforward question-and-answer book, it promises the kind of variety that will enliven evenings with family and friends. (And I might know some of the answers!)''VAL McDERMID''Outside of a dog, The Book Lover''s Quiz Book is every bookworm''s best friend -- inside of a dog . . . well, if you know the rest, you''re going to love this book''PETER HANINGTON, author of A Dying Breed, peterhanington.co.uk''This is the ultimate literary quiz book and Gary Wigglesworth is the quizmaster to end all quizmasters'' DAVID QUANTICK davidquantick.com This is a literary quiz book with a difference. Rather than basic sets of questions, The Book Lover''s Quiz Book mirrors the format of Gary''s live quizzes, at the Betsey Trotwood in London and elsewhere. So, there are lots of multiple-choice questions, some amusing answers, clever red herrings, little-known facts about authors and some of the much-loved Say What You See picture round. Also, there are fixed and variable rounds - fixed ones include ''Blankety Books'' (one word missing from the title - always with a theme), ''Literary Links and lists'' (what connects/next in the list etc.) and ''2 of a Kind'' (name the character and the author that share the same initials). The changeable rounds keep the quizzes fresh and include ''What the Dickens?'' (real or made-up Dickens names), ''RomeNo or JuliYess'' (real or made-up Shakespearian insults) and ''Book Bingo!'' (identify the correct number). There are also more standard rounds such as ''First Lines'', ''Working Titles'' and ''Banned Books''. The aim of all Gary''s quizzes, and this book, is that people should have fun and be able to guess (if they don''t know) as much as possible.
