List of truly strange books with their cover art. Some favorites include Liberace: Your Fashion Guide, Beverly Hillbillies Bible Study, and Fart Proudly: Writings of Benjamin Franklin You Never Read in School. One of the books listed is Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary of Unusual, Obscure, and Preposterous Words, which I remember a roommate of mine had. This was over 20 years ago and I still remember how much fun that book was. The title is very descriptive. The only two phrases I remember now from the dictionary were "thunder mug" as a euphemism for a chamber pot, and "prick me dainty" for a dandy.
