How do I obtain permission to reprint information from your books?
Visit our Contact Us page and choose “I am requesting permission to use an excerpt from one of your books” from the drop-down menu. Include the details of your request in the form, including a full explanation, what you want to reprint, where you found it, deadlines, and how you intend to use the information.
Do you have an index?
We do not have indexes for our books. We hope you enjoy paging through and learning about a range of topics! If you are trying to locate a specific article you’ve read in the past, please go to our Contact Us page and submit an inquiry there.
Will you find a certain fact or date or phrase origin for me?
We will happily take article suggestions, which we ask that you send to us via our Contact Us page. However, we unfortunately are unable to research each and every question that comes in, as we dedicate our resources to producing the volumes of books that our readers have come to love and anticipate.
How accurate are your facts? What sources do you use?
We understand that you want your funny interesting facts to be as accurate as possible, which is why the writers and researchers at Portable Press rely on the most accurate resources available. We use reputable newspapers, such as Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and USA Today; magazines, like Time, National Geographic, and Newsweek; and numerous trivia, reference, and quotes books, among others. Any information taken from the Internet is carefully researched and verified before use.
Note: While we strive to use the most reliable sources available, we are, unfortunately, not perfect (yet). While 99% of our resources tend to be accurate, they are occasionally wrong, and so are we. And, as time and scientific advancement march forward, what is often known as fact becomes fiction in a matter of years or months. We do the best we can with what we have.
How do I submit an idea, information, or a correction?
Submit all such information on our Contact Us page. Please provide all sources. If you have a correction, include the book title name and page number, as well as a source to verify factual errors. We can issue corrections when we periodically reprint the books.
