Quantick's Quite Difficult Quiz Book

The book "The Quiz Book" by David Quantick is the best quiz book ever, according to Mark Billingham, Gary Wiglesworth, and David Quantick himself. It is distinctive, unusual, difficult, and spectacularly entertaining, and is the antidote to every deathly dull pub quiz. The quizzes are based on David's popular live quizzes, which are described as quite difficult but also fun. They cover a wide range of topics, including books, music, movies, and strange events, and require mental agility as well as just knowing where Calais is. The book includes twenty-five main quizzes, four Christmas quizzes, and four specialist quizzes, so there are thirty-three quizzes in total. It is also a conceptual yet practical guide to staging excellent quizzes of your own.

Quantick is the Captain Beefheart of quizzing

The antidote to every deathly dull pub quiz you've ever been to. This is how a quiz book should be written - where having fun is the most important outcome
GARY WIGGLESWORTH, author of The Book Lover's Quiz Book
Distinctive, unusual, difficult, but spectacularly entertaining, this quiz book is to other pub quizzes what Trivial Pursuit was to Ludo, what The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is like to the Rhyl phone directory, and what the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost is like compared to a kid's scooter. Loads better.
David Quantick works regularly with Armando Iannucci, including on the new HBO series, Avenue 5. He won an Emmy as part of the writing team on Veep, a BAFTA for Harry Hill's TV Burp, and a Writers Guild Award for The Thick of It. For over fifteen years, David has also hosted his own very popular quizzes at festivals, events, pubs, clubs, cinemas, and in tents: the quizzes range is broad and the questions are tricky. They're not about statistics, there's no sport, the picture rounds are conceptual, and there's sometimes a round called "Martin Amis Character" or "Blur Song." Each quiz is funny and entertaining even if you don't know the answers. The quizzes are informative and opinionated. In some ways, they're like stand-up with questions. This is a book based on David's excellent live quizzes, described by many people as quite difficult.
But they are quizzes. Quite difficult quizzes that tax the brain and make it go in directions it didn't know it could. That's not to say the questions are fiendishly scientific and packed with questions about dates and the periodic table. They're about books and music, movies and actors, strange events and interesting people.
