This is a fascinating book about people and their tenuous claim to fame. I liked learning about the musical language "Solresol," promoted by Jean Francois Sudre and the use of blue glass to heal as promoted by A.J. Pleasanton.

Who knew that a book about people of whom you have never heard would be so interesting? I was somewhat reluctant to read this, but as soon as I began reading, I was hooked. A great read for history buffs and trivia lovers alike!

Really interesting book about people who could/have should have been famous inventors, writers, scientists, etc.
