50 States 5000 Facts

50 States 5000 Facts

Publisher: Penguin Publishing Group

From the team that created the national bestseller 50 States, 5,000 Ideas, this engaging treasure trove of trivia boasts interesting tidbits about the United States and is perfect for trivia buffs, history lovers, and fact-finders. Did you know that there is a floating post office in Michigan? Or that a library book checked out by George Washington was returned to a New York City library 221 years late? Maybe you’d be amazed to discover that the ink used to print U.S. paper money is magnetic! In this fun compendium you’ll encounter all kinds of bizarre and fascinating people, places, events, and things that make our country unique. Featuring 100 facts about every state and all six U.S. territories, discover and delight in fascinating histories, emblems, state birds and flowers, and so much more. You’ll find “by the numbers” trivia (did you know Wyoming could fill 760 million bags with sunflower seeds with the amount of flowers it grows?), quirky nicknames (San Francisco’s heavy fog was named Karl thanks to a social media phenomenon), and fun events (one Colorado state fair hosts a pet rock competition—with a best dressed category!). Delightfully engaging and illustrated with hundreds of photos, this is a volume trivia buffs will want in their arsenals.

How We Ship

Unless otherwise noted, all comics sold on the website come with a bag and board.

All books are shipped in thick cardboard mailers or flats to reduce the risk of damage while shipping. We will NEVER send your book in a floppy shipping envelope that doesn't have protective qualities. 

Orders are shipped 1-2 days after your order is placed.

Shipping rates are calculated by the weight of the items and will calculate in your cart at checkout with several options to choose from for shipping.

We cannot guarantee your new comic book or collectible will not have some slight imperfections.

Minor damages, like light corner dings or light spine dings may be present.  

We do strive to try and spot all seriously damaged items before they are made available to you for purchase online, but we are human and we do deal with 100s of books everyday, so we have the potential to miss some things on our inspection.

If you feel like we missed a glaringly bad damage in your order, or your entire order was damaged by the mail, please contact us and we'll take it on a case-by-case basis to resolve you issue. 

We do offer a Free Local Pickup option for those that live near our stores.

Our online inventory is located in Nashville, but all of our website inventory is separate from what's in store and kept off-site from the actual store. 

You will receive a 'Ready For Pickup' notification, either by email or text (depending on your contact settings) when your item is on site and ready to pick up.

Items are typically ready for pickup next day for Nashville.

Currently this option is only available for Nashville. Clarksville will be coming soon!

If you see a white label over the cover image, or the add to cart button has been grayed out and the words "Check In Store" appearing in either of those area, then that mean this item is only available in our inventory at the store, and it is not currently available to order online. 

This means, baring any inventory mishaps, you can find this item by visiting our Nashville store. 

Currently we do not have a similar inventory tracker for our Clarksville store.
