Elledge’s Nontrivial Trivia is a thematically arranged collection of trivia facts to enlighten and entertain collected and curated by Jonn Elledge. Originally published in the UK in 2021, this worldwide reformat and re-release is due out 16th June 2026 from The Experiment. It's 320 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout, which is very useful since the entries are full of links to further info.
The information is arranged thematically: the cosmos, the human planet, measurement, history and politics, the natural world, communication (and language), leisure culture food & sport, oddities, and death & the afterlife. Each entry is roughly 1-2 pages in length and contains many factoids and short 1-2 paragraph length sub-entries.
Interesting and relevant. It's appropriate for all ages. It would be a good choice for public or home reference library.
Four stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
