Dust jacket notes read: "Ludicrous and laughable book titles of the past and present now have a book to themselves-Bizarre Books. Every title in this hilarious round up of misbegotten tomes is real and, best of all, was intended seriously. The unintentional double entendres will start you laughing and you won't stop when you read the titles of some books on extraordinarily specialized subjects. Yes--someone, somewhere cares about The Romance of Leprosy. Authors' names, strange dedications, and unconventional bookbindings also come in for some laughs, showing just how odd books and their authors can be. Music, science, fiction, travel, cooking, religion, even death, have been written about and published under hilarious titles, such as Let's Make Some Undies and Octogenarian Teetotalers, to name only a few of the unforgettable titles collected in Bizarre Books. This entertaining book will please all bizarre bibliophiles and other lovers of the silly, the ridiculous, and the absurd. "
