Rather than basic sets of questions, \u003ci\u003eThe Book Lover's Quiz Book \u003c\/i\u003emirrors 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso, 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'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Robinson Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472150080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288","brand":"Gary Wigglesworth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51894765977781,"sku":"9781472150080","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6313cb32-b50d-4763-9c27-48c7bcfd34a8.jpg?v=1760491163","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-book-lovers-quiz-book-novel-conundrums-9781472150080","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
