Foolish Questions

A respectful and accurate reproduction of Goldberg's first "Questions" collection. One question per page.

Rube Goldberg was best known for his crazy inventions, but that was only a small portion of his amazingly prolific work. Foolish Questions was one of his earliest "regular" panels, and it became so popular that it was collected in book form in 1909. This book is a replica of that first collection, complete with Rube's own introduction. Unfortunately, there is no other information at all - not even mention that it's the same Rube Goldberg who later became famous for inventions (and whose very name was entered into Webster's American English dictionary). Regardless, this is an excellent book, especially for the price. Highly recommended, and kudos to Coachwhip Publications! I hope we see more in the future.

A fun book with all too many illustrations that describe me. A good reminder of things not to ask...in other words, think before speaking.

The questions were too simplistic and repetitive for my taste.

Reminded me of a RED NECK joke book but with absolutely no rhyme or reason with the pictures and sayings

brilliant mind points us in the credible direction of a truly magnificient mind and creative soul. wakes up the sleeping giant

great

Fun Book!
