Med sit velkendte fipskæg, sin alt for store grønne regnfrakke og udstyret med en ramponeret hat og paraply er professor Tournesol kendt og anerkendt af enhver Tintinlæser over hele verden. Men samtidig må man paradoksalt nok konstatere, at han er et ukendt eller ligefrem miskendt geni! For videnskabsmanden Tournesol, den overordentlig store videnskabsmand, er ubegribeligt nok fraværende i encyklopædier og leksika, og hvad værre er: Videnskabshistorien lader fuldstændig hånt om ham. Og det er en skandale! Professor Tournesols konversationsleksikon bringer alt frem i lyset – lige fra professorens personlighed til hans banebrydende opdagelser og fænomenale opfindelser. Hvor kommer hans fornavn og efternavn fra? Har han eksisteret i virkeligheden? Hvordan var hans liv, før han mødte Tintin og kaptajn Haddock? Hvem var de øvrige professorer, Tintin mødte på sin vej? Hvilke videnskabsgrene forsker Tournesol egentlig i? Disse og mange andre spørgsmål bliver her besvaret fyldestgørende. Alt om professorens psykologiske profil, hans brug af penduler og søgekviste, hans tunghørhed, kejtethed, hans raserianfald og nærtagenhed, der går hånd i hånd med hans enestående genialitet. Vi inviteres indenfor i Tournesols laboratorier og præsenteres for hans forbløffende opfindelser, lige fra klædebørstemaskinen og udklapssengen over undervandshajen, måneraketten og ultralydssenderen til SuperTournesol-fjernsynet, rosen Bianca Castafiore og de motoriserede rulleskøjter. Kort sagt en enestående hyldest til et videnskabeligt universalgeni, som helt ubegribeligt aldrig har modtaget Nobelprisen. Rigt illustreret og med fyldestgørende bibliografiske referencer til Tintinalbummene. Om forfatteren Albert Algoud (f. 1950 i Frankrig) er forfatter, humorist, radiovært og Tintin-ekspert og har ud over Professor Tournesols konversationsleksikon udgivet en række andre bøger, som desværre endnu ikke er oversat til dansk, bl.a. Tintinolâitre, Petit dictionnaire énervé de Tintin og Dictionnaire amoureux de Tintin, ligesom konceptet til Kaptajn Haddocks ordbog er skabt af Algoud.

"Anders Lund Madsens ÆØÅ" er for længst blevet en klassiker inden for ordbøger, idet den fortæller om alle de ting, der ikke findes ord for, men også om alle de ord, der ikke findes ting for! Det kan fx være ordet Galafel, der betyder "De uventede intime bånd, der knyttes, når to mennesker, du netop har præsenteret for hinanden, beslutter, at de bedre kan lide hinanden end dig."Eller det lidt mere vovede ord Ibo, som betegner "En teltformet struktur i pyjamasbenklæderne, med hvilken en mand indikerer, at det er på tide, hun bliver færdig med at lede efter neglesaksen og kommer i seng."Eller ordet Kludo, der er betegnelsen for et kendt fænomen, nemlig "Den voldsomme vrede der opstår, når man forsøger at åbne en dåse torskerogn, og metalstrimlen begynder at vikle sig underligt omkring drejenøglen."Det kan også være det måske lidt mindre udbredte Manifamam, der er "En person som lider af sygelig trang til at knuse emballerede tarteletter i supermarkedet."Hermed foreligger en ny, stærkt udvidet og opdateret udgave af bestselleren, der udkom første gang i 1997 og siden er kommet i flere udgaver. Den uundværlige titel genudgives nu med MANGE nye ord, i stort format, i spektakulært udstyr og illustreret med en lang række virkelig mærkelige fotos af bogens forfatter.
