Wierd Books We Have (Not) Known

Abebooks is currently promoting some of the weirder books and literary oddities which are available. These include such delights as:

  • Ductigami: The Art of the Tape by Joe Wilson

  • The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories by Ailsa Surkis & Monica Nolan

  • Monk Habits for Everyday People by Dennis Okholm

  • The Great Pantyhose Crafts Book by Edward & Stevie Baldwin

  • Do-It-Yourself Coffins by Dale Power

  • and what is billed as the world's weirdest book: Luigi Serafini's Codex Seraphinianus

I think I'm glad I've managed to miss out on these, although I do have a copy of Bill Hartston's The Drunken Goldfish. What are your favourites?

  1. 'The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories' won a prize for the weirdest book title. I hadn't heard of the others though.

    Codex Seraphinianus looks very strange.

    Not sure I have a particular favourite at present - I shall have to have a think about it.
