What is Jim Chapman's book called?
Jim's book 147 Things was published in October 2017.
The contents, much like Jim's YouTube channel, are varied with the sub-title "My User’s Guide to the Universe, from the Big Bang to Bellybuttons".
Jim said about the book: "I'm an extremely curious chap and with this book I wanted to share the content of my noggin, because I think these are the 147 things that have helped me through this thing we call life.
"Sometimes because it shows how lucky we are to be here at all, but often because I’m a moron and learned whatever lesson it taught me the hard way, and I’d like to save you the pain of making the same mistakes (I refer here to the waxing of my pubic hair)."
