It's all there, alright

Sorting my childhood possessions a couple of weeks ago, I found this: 'Plantagenet Somerset Fry's Complete Book of Facts'.
I'm always grateful that my parents spent the extra for the deluxe edition; Mr. Fry's 'Incomplete Book of Facts' would have been rather frustrating.

"The longest river in Central Europe is... oh, that page is missing."

Seriously; wasn't it redundant to specify that the book is complete?

And doesn't 'Plantagenet Somerset Fry' sound like the sort of name a sp*mbot would generate?
