Synopsis
In the course of their writing and publishing careers, Russell Ash and Brian Lake have collected hundreds of the book trade's most bizarre titles. From unintended double entendres (Making It in Leather) and astonishingly specialized subjects (Great Locomotive Boiler Explosions) to weird books on sex (Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition), and religion ( Where Is It?), the authors have left no page unturned in their quest. Along the way, they have also catalogued some noteworthy authors, including Violet Organ, Fernando Poo, Bishop Frediricus Nausea, and O. Hell. A final section looks at publishing curiosities, from unusual book bindings (a "fireproof" edition of Fahrenheit 451 bound in asbestos boards) to unfortunate tributes (Venereal Disease and Its Prevention, "affectionately dedicated" to the author's wife). Now revised and updated, Bizarre Books is a guaranteed good laugh.
