Funny book.

[Sheep]

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of a book called 'Cocktugs'. It was a really funny book I found in a library once about other books with really dodgy book titles, and had me in stitches with laughter. I've tried a few places on the internet looking for it, but I can't find it anywhere. Help!

This is really annoying, i was watching a prgramme last week about this bookshop that only stocks books with weird or rude titles, will see if i can find it but no doubt i'll just discover a load of porn. Think the shop was in london and they showed people walking past the window, doing double takes and then laughing at the title - am sure they would have it!

Ah, that'd be great if you could do that. I've tried most of the online book sites, but they didn't stock it. Also, I went to the library today to see if I could find it. But, I couldn't find anything. Anything else I searched for on the internet either gave me porn sites, or stuff about cocktails.

There was an article in the Telegraph about that shop a while ago, becks. It is a second hand bookshop in Great Russell Street, London called Jarndyce

The owner, Brian Lake, collects books with peculiar authors/titles and has published a book called 'Bizarre Books'. He might be able to help you with your search, sheep. The review of his book had me in stitches (sample titles: Drummer Dick's Discharge. Correctly English in Hundred Days.) and can be found at
