More Information Than You Require is a 2008 satirical almanac by John Hodgman. It is the follow-up to Hodgman's 2005 book The Areas of My Expertise. It was released October 21, 2008. The full title reads:
More Information Than You Require is the second part of a trilogy, concluding with a final book titled That Is All. This series of books is intended to be a collective whole, featuring continuous page numbering - that is, the last page of The Areas of My Expertise is page 236, and the first page of More Information Than You Require is page 237.[1] The cover features John Hodgman holding a ferret, a reference to one of the "long cons" from The Areas of My Expertise.
More Information was well received. The now-defunct Express called it an "enjoyable" follow-up to The Areas of My Expertise.[2] Other reviewers positively noted the book's "bizarre"[3] [4] sense of humor.
Analogously to the 700 Hoboes Project, Hodgman began a second illustration project for the 700 "Mole-manic Names" contained in More Information Than You Require. The website and Flickr group began accepting submissions on October 21, 2008.[5]
