404.0. "Interestingly Integrated Book Titles" by DEMOAX::HAYES (Video killed the radio stars) Sat Aug 29 1987 16:54

    I apologize if this topic appears previously and I've missed it,
    but I'd like to use this topic to solict interesting names for real
    live books that folks have seen. I was prompted to do this by running
    across an expose-type book on the Educational Testing Service, those
    fine folks that brought you the SAT, MCAT, and other such tests.
    The author unfortunately I've forgotten, but the title is
    "None of the Above".
    
    To qualify, the title has to be integrated with the subject matter
    in a tightly coupled but interesting fashion. Any candidates?

    There was a book a few years ago that traced the history of the
    toilet from its invention in Victorian England to the present day.
    I forget the author's name.  The inventor of the toilet was claimed
    to be a man named Thomas Crapper.  The title of the book is _Flushed
    with Pride_.
