The book brings together curiosities and scattered facts about a wide variety of subjects, and is designed to be opened at any page: each entry provides a small dose of information. The circular vignette on the cover, with books, globes and scientific instruments, reinforces its encyclopaedic and entertaining character.

The book is aimed at curious readers who prefer short pieces and varied topics, and who enjoy specific look-ups.
