This Book Will Send You to Sleep

Sleep smarter

‘The indispensable bedside classic’ Leland Carlson, Assistant Vice President of the Dull Men’s Club

This Book Will Send You to Sleep makes no claims to be fun or interesting. It is a book you can read in full confidence that you will find absolutely nothing to stimulate your brain. A book, like any other, that will afford you much sleep and copious amounts of pointless knowledge.

Where else will you read about the political crisis in Belgium 2007–2011 or the recent developments in the taxonomy of molluscs? And where else can you find, in one place: a summary of the administrative bureaucracy of the Byzantine Empire? A world almanac of pickled cucumbers? The measurement of the linear density of fibre?

''Prepare to fall fast asleep with the most boring book ever published'' Tim Jones, sleep specialist
