Bizarre Books

Here's another quirky fun new category to start the soon-to-be new year off right! I recently purchased a hilarious book called Bizarre Books: A Compendium of Classic Oddities, by Russell Ash and Brian Lake. These two fellows are in the business of buying books, and with forty-plus years' joint experience, they certainly have come across some very unique titles. If you're interested, here's an interview with these two book-lovin' gents.

So every now and then I will post a title from their quirky book collection. Of course I must start off with the chapter on Double Entendre titles – how could I not? Just a quick reminder: yes, these are real titles from real books!

And so I give you the first title in this new series:

Games You Can Play with Your Pussy
Ira Alterman
Waterdown, Mass,: Ivory Tower Pub. Co.,
1985

I just nearly spit soda all over my screen. Thanks. ;)

I emitted one of those snort laughs (charming...) at your first choice - and then peered very closely at the others shown. (The Dick one brought forth yet another snort...)
Very risque, my dear.
Looking forward to further titles!

This is hilarious. Can't wait for more gems.
One of my favourite titles was a book I discarded from a library collection some years ago. It was a book on disaster planning from the 70's called "The Titanic Effect : planning for the unthinkable". (try saying it aloud)

Ha! 'The Unthinkable Titanic'. How thilly is that?

I saw this in the window of our local bookshop and thought it was wonderful. I'll have to pick up a copy.

Have a great 2008.
