About This Book

THEY'RE NUTTY, WACKY...AND TRUE!

Encyclopedia Brown has been busy filling his notebooks with clippings of true, wacky crimes collected from newspapers -- and now he's ready to share them with you.

A holdup man walked into a store and pointed his gun at clerk Veronica Taylor. "This is a stickup. Give me everything in the register." Taylor told him there was no money in the register. "I was just kidding," said the man. "There are no bullets in the gun." And he ran away.

A young man was arrested in Wyoming for paying his $20 traffic court fine -- with a $22 bill!

A New Orleans man was held for denting a police car -- with his head!

AND MUCH MORE! THIS BOOK IS SO MUCH FUN -- IT'S A CRIME!
