This is for you bookish sorts here.  Found this on another list and felt it
worth passing on.  Now those of you who are authors will know what titles
are taken so you don't duplicate.

I own one of these titles, can you guess which one?  Ruth





YOU WANT TO CALL IT WHAT?  Each year, the Frankfurt Book Fair is
enlivened by the Bookseller/Diagram competition to find the oddest
title of the year. Previous winners have included Proceedings of
the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice; Greek Rural Postmen
and Their Cancellation Numbers; The Joy of Sex: Pocket Edition; How
to Shit in the Woods, an Environmentally Sound Approach to a Lost
Art; Highlights in the History of Concrete; Living with Crazy
Buttocks; and People Who Don't Know They´re Dead: How They Attach
Themselves to Unsuspecting Bystanders and What to Do About It.
Among those shortlisted this year are How Green Were the Nazis?;
Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Seaweed Symposium; The
Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: a Guide To Field
Identification; and Tattooed Mountain Women and Spoon Boxes of
Daghestan.
