Oddities in book publishing
| October 20, 2007

HarperCollins released a revised and updated edition of Bizarre Books: A Compendium of Classic Oddities by Russel Ash and Brian Lake. The book is a survey of some of the most absurd content and book jackets from the past—definitely a conversation starter...

From HarperCollins’ site:
”They say you can't judge a book by its cover—but its title can tell you more than you ever needed to know!

Amazing, illuminating, and gut-bustingly funny, Bizarre Books is the wonderfully twisted product of more than two decades of determined searching in forgotten corners of out-of-the-way libraries and through the literary detritus of eclectic private collections. It is certain to delight every true fan of trivia and the patently absurd.”
