Nine? Eleven? Bah! Bosh! Give us tens, and in plenty! At last, a book that has never before existed, by the only author to have written it. Gideon Haigh’s The Tencyclopedia—a tribute to the thrall of the decimal.

Here, grouped as never before, Ten Affairs, Aunts, Masses, Mice, Methods, Plans, Principles and Penises. Here, as you have never seen them, Ten Indian Traffic Signs and Ten Flags That Feature Weapons. Here, as you have never read them, a History of Airline Food in Ten Paragraphs and a History of Chopper Read in 10 ½ Chapters.

Words. Pictures. Pages. A cover. Think you’ve seen them all? Think again. The Tencyclopedia is the book that puts decadence back into decade. Nearly.
