Book excerpt: All the books illustrated in this irresistible little volume were collectedy Michael Bell when he owned an antiquarian bookshop in Lewes. His criterionas simple: these were old books that raised a grin if not a guffaw from hisustomers as soon as they saw them. Some are simply mystifying like thenigmatic "Book of Blank Maps"; bizarre like Frances E. Willard's perfectlytraight-faced account, "How I Learned to Ride the Bicycle"; or simply evoke world which has long since vanished like Paulo Montegazza's manual on "Thert of Taking a Wife". Sometimes it is the combination of title and coverrtwork that does the trick, but most frequent of all is the title that nowonveys a meaning quite at odds with the author's original intentions, theoy's story "Invisible Dick", for example, or another children's novel, "Howell Scored".
