Giant Ripley's Believe It Or Not by Robert Ripley, 132 pages


I have always loved Ripley's Believe It or Not, heck, I even went to the museum in Branson, MO. So I was very excited to find this old book at an estate sale last week. It's about 1 foot by 2 foot, so it had tons of interesting stories. Unfortunately, due to it's age, by the time by daughters and myself finished reading it, the last 50 pages come off. But considering that I paid a whole 40 cents for the book, it didn't owe me anything. For anyone who has been living in a cave, Robert Ripley traveled the world collecting odd stories and published with little illustrations. The stories only go to show that the truth is stranger than fiction.
