Some years ago I was given a dozen fake book covers with outrageous titles. I would slip a few over existing books and leave them lying around. I remember some of the titles were:

Embalming: Self Taught

How To Kill Anyone

Counterfeiting Made Simple

How To Dissapear (that book actually dissapeared once during a hoot)
