Pictures and taglines of humorously titled books. ( )

The trade journal of the British bookselling trade, The Bookseller, has for some thirty years hosted the Diagram Prize for the Oddest Book Title of the Year. Entries have to be nominated and have to be properly-published books, not vanity publications deliberately created with an eye on the title. Past classics have included Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice, Large and very large hole drilling, Scenes from the history of concrete, Hot topics in urology, The Gut Contents of Six Leathery Turtles, The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories, and, of course, How to avoid huge ships.

Read and enjoy! And remember, all these are real books that have been published in the real world! ( )
