Ok, after seeing these books I think it's sometimes right to judge a book by its cover. See if you can top these lame book covers:

@Robert Gentel,

I've heard of auto-urine therapy, but never came across any practitioners.

Found this one at a thrift store a few years ago and had to add it to the ironic decor of my grad school-era apartment:

@Ticomaya,

That's hysterical! I assume you know that the author of that book has the most prestigious cook book awards named after him. The James Beard Foundation Awards. The Pulitzer Prize but for cookbooks.

I missed this the first time around. Wow, those first ones are colossally lame. Amazingly lame. Woefully lame.

"How to **** in the Woods" was a good book though! I've read it.

(Hey tsarstepan, good to see ya.)

I'm not sure what is more shameful being caught as one of the readers of these books or being the author of them?!

@sozobe,

I hear it's a very good book about wood and a worthy follow up to his "Understanding Wood", but still I snicker...
