"Superstitions" is a chock-full compendium of more than 1,000 of the world's most common folklore beliefs. For centuries people have been changing their behavior to bring themselves good luck and it is believed that some people perform better when they follow personal rituals. This informative and thoroughly amusing reference will give you all the answers to how many long-standing, long-believed superstitions actually came about.
