How can a reader be expected to comprehend so many sentences and paragraphs, dates and events, names and context at once? Answer: they can’t.
But we come not to curse the darkness, but to light a glorious candle: a new history book so accurate it makes Wikipedia look like the National Enquirer… so concise, it makes a sneeze feel like an eon… and yet, so unabridged that it makes the Library of Congress a virtual haiku.
Historical Tweets: The Completely Unabridged and Ridiculously Brief History of The World hits shelves today, giving you all the history you need with just 1% of the words.
Skimmers of the world: rejoice.
A side note: special thanks to everyone who made this book possible — Kate McKean, Ryan Doherty and our team at Villard/Random House, the Historical Tweets fans & followers — and our loved friends and families.
If you haven’t already gotten the book, go get it — you’ll really enjoy the design, the humor, and the history.
And if when you get it, leave us a comment below — we’d love to hear what you think. Perhaps even leave a review on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
And if you’re reading the book close to an historical monument or statue — take a photo with the book and send it in. We’ll post it here on the blog.
Be historic,
– Twitterstorians Alan Beard & Alec McNayr

I’ve shown Historical Tweets to numerous people now, and every one of them has found different things to laugh at. That’s a winner in my book.
I’ve enjoyed every moment of reading it so far, and will likely continue to do so for a while.
Great coffee table reading for geek-filled households.
