Today is an especially exciting Thursday for Prospect, as it sees the publication of the book of our ever-popular “in fact” column, which can now be purchased in—we hope—all good bookstores near you. Lovingly edited by our senior editor and fact-compiler-in-chief Tom Nuttall, it’s a compendium of information that aims to be every bit as inclusive, challenging and intermittently astonishing as our own magazine. Did you know, for instance, that one in every 3,400 Americans is an Elvis impersonator; that more than half of the London underground network is overground; or that Brent, in north London, is the only place in Britain where women earn as much as men on average? All this and more waits within its pages.
Fact-fans will be doubly thrilled to learn that you can not only purchase the book at our dedicated in fact website, but that you can also contribute there to its evolving, electronic incarnation—an online hub for all matters factual. And while you’re checking that out, why not enter our book launch competition, in which we’re giving away five copies of In Fact for the five best reader submissions to the “in fact” column—all of which we’ll publish in October. To enter, simply email your fact, its source and date to our fact hotline, plus your name and address, by 16th September.
