This, That, and the Other

I am collecting titles in the triplet format. The most popular book with a title in this format on LT is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and there are many others which can be seen in my collection - This That, and the Other http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?view=Diabolical_DrZ&collection=3537. I'd love to know if others have suggestions of additions to this collection.

A few other examples that I like:
A Gentle Madness: Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes, and the Eternal Passion for Books
Cosmos, Chaos, and the World to Come, 2nd Edition
Lost Lonely and Vicious

Lean, Luscious and Meatless (a cookbook) by Bobbie Hinman

I, Me, Mine by George Harrison

On Kissing, Tickling and Being Bored by Adam Phillips
Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond

Love, Death, and the Ladies Drill Team, which I own but have no idea how, or why. And yet, the title came instantly to my mind when I read your post.

Also several John Bellairs titles: The Mummy, the Will, and the Crypt, The Drum, the Doll, and the Zombie, The Letter, the Witch, and the Ring, and The Bell, the Book, and the Spellbinder are the ones I can see at a glance.

Darn it, aglaia, I was going to mention Bellairs. *pout*

But you reminded me of Bell, Book and Candle.

And Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail.

Whoops! Sorry, Mary; I can edit down to two and you can submit the others if you'd like ;)

:-D Don't be silly. I can always think of something to say. You know me - I somehow overcome my shyness and reticence!!

*grin* Glad to know I didn't stunt your participation!

How to Cheat at Everything: A Con Man Reveals the Secrets of the Esoteric Trade of Cheating, Scams, and Hustles

The Girl, the Gold Watch And Everything by John D. MacDonald

A lot of my reading is SF and to be honest I think that this form of title is less common for SF novels.

Pride and prejudice and zombies.

Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs is as entertaining as the title.

Sex 'n' Drugs 'n' Rock'n'Roll? Oh, hang on, that's a song ...

Sex, Drugs And Sausage Rolls by Robert Rankin fits though.

Hickory Dickory Death Agatha Christie

Life, the Universe, and Everything by Douglas Adams

The Knight, the Lady, and the Priest by Georges Duby. (Sounds like the makings of a dirty joke!)

If analytical philosophy is too dry for you, try An Introduction to Information Theory: Symbols, Signals, and Noise by John R. Pierce.
