If you can't get enough oddities

http://oddbooks.co.uk/

Includes some book covers and REALLY bad poetry.

I found the section on Webster Edgerly the most interesting - http://oddbooks.co.uk/edgerly/. His magnatism theory bring to mind the latest new-age craze covered in The Secret!

There are some really hilarious titles here! I especially love one on how to make your child more attractive, from the 1940's. Also, don't miss out on the ever useful Cyclomancy: The Secret of Psychic Power Control! It covers important things like how to move objects without touching them, and -- even better -- how to acquire and use X-RAY VISION!

Here's another site listing bizarre books.

What a great site! I can't get enough of books like _Secrets of Fascinating Womanhood_. The disturbing thing is the pub. date is 1989 (and its the THIRD edition). There are ten secrets passed on in this book. My favorite is number eight!!!

Why do books of questionable advice always tell you they have a "secret" that no one else has? For example, Kevin Trudeau's _Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About_.
