Ok-- I've just been looking through a book catalogue and been amazed at a couple of titles:

"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Fasting"

"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Being Sexy"

"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amazing Sex"

Yes, these are real titles! But of course, the "Complete Idiot's Guide" series is a gimme. How about some more nuanced oddities?

"British English as a Foreign Language"

"Think Yourself Rich: Use the Power of Your Subconscious Mind to Find True Wealth" -- "Effective techniques to have all the money you need using miracle thought-forms and the psychic money machine. Also understand how the law of infinite increase multiplies your wealth and how to charge yourself with money-magnetism. 244 pages."

"Katy Keene Swimsuit Illustrated Paper Dolls" -- "Contains 39 unique costume designs for one of America's original pin-up queens. Gradeschoolers. Hobby House Press."

Again, these are all real titles! They are from a discount book catalogue, but someone had to 1. come up with the idea, 2. spend time writing/designing it and 3. pitch it to a publisher for sale.....

Curiouser and Curiouser!
