I prefer the prequel: The Thruster.

The final book in the trilogy The Spouter is the best.

Yeah, it does go out with a high note.

E above High C, I think it was.

Some I have run across

I used to sell The Manitou. It was a bestseller back in the day. The movie was horrible. There's also a sequel that was geared towards the Lovecraft crowd that must've been inspired by the X-Men comic books.

You can buy the Excrement in the Late Middle Ages book for almost $100 on Amazon or download it for free on MediaFire. If we go balls out libertarian in this country, this is the sewage system we're going to get.

Bathia_Mapes: "The Manitou" was also made into a movie with the same title. The Manitou (movie) (new window)

i was going to bring that up

i thought i had forgotten that movie, but it decided to revive itself

Good Show Sir (new window) specialized in bad sci-fi and fantasy covers.

Of all the covers posted there, The Wayfarer Bilbabalbabul (new window) is my favorite.

/Yes, Bilbabalbabul
//Say that five times fast

This, inexplicably, has also been published.



And anyone remember that one that promised improved health by flexing your sphincter? It had a long Engrish-y title, like "Happy Anus Funtime Improve Health".

Are they taking advice from John Tesh?

I hate to say it, but it sounds like an interesting read, anthropologically speaking.

Speaking of which, I worked at a bookstore in the late 80s and flipped through the copy of "How to Shiat in the Woods" for funsies. It's actually a pretty good resource on how to make sure you don't leave stinkbombs in the unsullied wilderness for other hikers to find. Or spread giardia. Or how to properly spread 'em so you don't wind up crapping all over yourself and your pants ten miles away from a laundromat.

You can get that on MediaFire for free too.

...I spent six years researching a book on one of the greatest historical mysteries of the Civil War, came up with a good solid answer, and and can't get the book sold to save my life.

"How to Avoid Huge Ships" - Second Edition.

What I want to know is what happened after the first edition was published that required an updated version. Did the author collide with a huge ship in a previously unanticipated manner?

Notice the cool guy is the White guy. So I'm guessing the first piece of advice is "be White".

"Oops, I meant turn port."

This is my favorite. It's just giant pictures of poop from different species with captions in German, English, and French.

"Prince of Dogs" is actually a pretty good fantasy novel.

in case you were wondering about the manuscript on the cover of Excrement in the Late Middle Ages it is about the Temple of Anus where they collect the turds. Just like the illustration. I have a book about profane pictures on manuscripts and wood cuts.

platedlizard: "Prince of Dogs" is actually a pretty good fantasy novel.

i'll second that.

One of the sad things about being a paperback writer is that you never get to choose your cover.

I need to get around to finishing that series.

What, exactly, is supposed to be the issue with "Bombproof Your Horse?"

A "bombproof" horse is a horse so desensitized and sensible that you can pretty much take him into the majority of situations that would freak out most other horses. A damned good thing if you're a member of a mounted posse, ride parades, or want a quiet, safe, horse for your child or if you're a new rider.

If you can't open your locker, you're not cool or awesome, and god doesn't love you. Read the awesome book and learn to open your locker with a single bump of your fist. You'll be awesome, and god will love you.

A damned good thing if you're a member of a mounted posse, ride parades, or want a quiet, safe, horse for your child or if you're a new rider.

Probably because they're going for a more literal interpretation, i.e., a horse that won't explode.

I didn't even think the cover was that bad. It makes a lot of sense in context, anyway. I suppose if someone isn't familiar with the story it might seem silly, though.

I saw a woman reading this book on the subway recently.

Not a bad article, but I'm more interested in the nude picture of Elizabeth Taylor under related links. fark the Super Bowl, I'll be in my bunk.

Then there was this book (new window).

What mystery was that? Or can't you say until you get it published?

That's it! Thanks, that would have kept me awake tonight trying to think of it.

"How to Avoid Huge Ships" is available through Amazon, of course.

One of the reasons author Louis L'Amour was so successful was because his contract with his publisher guaranteed him having the final say on covers for his books.

/He and his wife also used to drive all over the United States in a motorhome visiting book distribution warehouses so they could bribe the workers with donuts and coffee to arrange his books prominently and neatly on paperback racks.
//He brought me a sack full cheeseburgers one time because I was displaying his books in my store's window.

Sadly, Amazon only has "sign up to be notified when this item becomes available". However my local library does have a copy, and I just placed a hold on it. In a few short days I will finally learn the secret to avoiding huge ships.
