#HolidayGiftGuide - Ripley's Believe It or Not Strikingly True



Looking for an unusual gift?
Why not give a gift that does several things...

Ripley's Believe It or Not - Strikingly True book is a great gift for both men and women, boys and girls! With no age limit on here, the only thing that will limit you is yourself!! Why not see if you can accomplish amazing things to have you included?!

We received it for review and Marc jumped on to reading and checking it out!
With great photographs and awesome feats, it is sure to have you gasping in awe at some of the things mentioned... and in amazement of some of the photography!
With over 250 pages, this hardback book is a great addition to any library!

One thing I thought was pretty neat?
On page 24, they show a picture of a child that was painted on the road near an elementary school. It is a 3-D image and when the driver gets 100 ft away, it "comes alive" giving the driver time to slow down!
Talk about a mental image!
From really cool animals to really nasty bugs, this book has it all!
I love the photography!
Funky art and fascinating means of transportation...

Just look at some of the photography!
As I said, great gift idea!!!
I am loving this book!

    Have you ever been to one of their museums? They are so cool! I went to one and they had all kinds of art made out of dryer lint and chocolate syrup. It was so cool!!! I bought one of their books for one of my nephews.
