New book explores Yellowstone’s trivialities

Yellowstone’s trivia is fun and fascinating

A new book called “Yellowstone Trivia” serves up feast of facts for fans of Yellowstone National Park.

Written by self-proclaimed “Trivia Queen” Janet Spencer, the Yellowstone book delights with odd and obscure nuggets of knowledge, along with quirky quotes, original puzzles, whimsical cartoons, fascinating footnotes, and innovative flip-art animation.

“Yellowstone is one of the most unique places on our planet,” said Spencer, who calls herself the Royal Ruler of Useless Information, the Master of Arcane Knowledge and Extraneous Lore, and the Keeper of Forgotten Facts and Startling Statistics. “I wanted to build a book that was just as unique.”

The amazing and amusing material is presented in an entertaining format of questions and answers, making the book perfect for campfire quizzes or backseat travelers.

Spencer, author of “Montana Trivia,” has been involved with trivia for more than two decades. “I love learning, but even more, I love teaching people. Trivia is the best tool I’ve found to do that.”

Anyone who would like to learn such things as how many items are turned into the park’s lost and found each summer, or what percent of people injured by bears are men, or how small the park’s smallest geyser was, should pick up a copy of “Yellowstone Trivia.” The 120-page paperback sells for $9.95 and is available at bookstores and from Riverbend Publishing by calling toll-free 1-866-787-2363.
