    “Book Descriptions: A celebration of all the weird and wonderful books to be found at an antiquarian bookshop.



    Books have the power to enrich the soul, to enliven the senses, to expand our horizons… and others are simply mad. This wonderful celebration of the oddest books ever published is a treat for all bibliophiles, booksellers and fans of the bizarre. It is an exploration of the most eccentric titles and covers from our past, that have inexplicably fallen out of print but should never be forgotten.



    Gems include:


    Scouts in Bondage
    Frog Raising for Pleasure and Profit
    Premature Burial and How It May Be Prevented
    Drummer Dick’s Discharge
