Bizarre Books

A unique, long-awaited collection of the world's most unusual books and authors, completely revised and updated from the bestselling original. Funnier than The Wit of Prince Philip and more fasciniating than Songs of a Chartered Accountant, this is the perfect gift for bibliophiles and lovers of the absurd. In the course of their careers in the business of writing and selling books, Russell Ash and Brian Lake have collected hundreds of bizarre examples from this extensive field. From double entendres and astonishingly specialized subjects to weird books on horticulture, science and medical matters, the authors have left no catalogue page unturned in their quest, uncovering gems written by such luminaries as A. Clot, Richard Daft, Cecil Nutter, Maurice Rat and Solomon Slack.
