While working as circulation staff in the King County Library System, I
began noticing weird and wacky books lurking in the bins. I started making
a list every month and posted them in the staff bathroom. At first, people
thought these were fake books, but they are real—I couldn’t make this stuff
up! The ever-growing list of strange titles will appear as a monthly top
10 each month in Silverfish, so check them out! If you find weird books
in your travels, send them to je9@u.washington.edu and
they just might make it on the top 10.
