"Schott's Original Miscellany" is an indispensable and unputdownable collection of essential uncommon knowledge and vital irrelevance where you will stumble across such tantalising entertainment as the thirteen principles of witchcraft and a nursery rhyme about sneezing. "Schott's Food & Drink Miscellany" is a snapper up of unconsidered trifles, giving the reader such indispensable information as the correct technique for lighting a cigar and which king served foie gras to his dog. "Schott's Sporting, Gaming & Idling Miscellany" enlightens us as to why snooker is important to nuns and the nature of every single sporting ailment from jogger's nipple to housemaid's knee.
