Entertaining book first published in 1982(?). Provides secondary primary source material for many a bizarre Wikipedia page and Reddit TIL submission. Heavily skewed toward UK personalities seeing as the author is probably British. Cheapened by the fact that this book was part of a series including the "World's Greatest" Physics & Mystics, Wickedest Women, Wealthiest Losers, and Greatest Lovers. The writing is actually pretty good and has an old-timey wit to it.
