More About The Product

A devastatingly important encyclopedia from America's Finest News Source that contains the sum total of mankind's knowledge and is the very last book that will ever be printed.

"Leave it to the geniuses at The Onion, who have revolutionized the science of sarcasmic infoengineering in the weekly print newspaper format, to do the same for the venerable encyclopedia. Miraculously, in only 250 or so pages, they have managed to cram more meaningful information about our universe into one book than Google or Bing or even Alta Vista have been able to do with several times that number of "web pages.""--Popmatters.com

In a history spanning 24 years, 7 popular books and 19 Webby Awards, The Onion has attracted legions of loyal fans drawn to its fearless reporting and scathing commentary on world events, human behavior and journalistic convention.
