Beschreibung:
In the course of their careers in the business of writing and selling books, Russell Ash and Brian Lake have collected hundreds of bizarre examples from this extensive field. From double entendres and astonishingly specialized subjects to weird books on horticulture, science, and medical matters, the authors have left no catalog page unturned in their quest for the most bizarre of books.
They say you can't judge a book by its cover-but its title can tell you more than you ever needed to know!
Amazing, illuminating, and gut-bustingly funny, Bizarre Books is the wonderfully twisted product of more than two decades of determined searching in forgotten corners of out-of-the-way libraries and through the literary detritus of eclectic private collections. It is certain to delight every true fan of trivia and the patently absurd.

An offbeat compilation of the strangest book titles, subtitles, author names, and book descriptions ever published ranges from such colorful works as Boobs as Seen by John Henry to Obesity--Causes, Consequences and Treatment by Louis Lasagna, complemented by some of the oddest book jackets ever produced.
