Healthy Recipes You Will Never Eat
Healthy Recipes You’ll Never Eat was compiled and written by Connie Gobble and released through Cookbook Publications in 2005.

Napoleon Bonaparte’s 101 Least Favourite Meals
Napoleon Bonaparte’s 101 Least Favourite Meals was written by Queen guitarist Brian May in 1993, having spent much of the previous decade studying the French leader’s culinary habits to help move on from the commercial failure of their 1982 album Hot Space. The book sold reasonably well and was surprisingly at the top of the…
How To Say Cauliflower In Greek For Beginners
How To Say Cauliflower In Greek For Beginners was released in 2006 by Laurence Broccoli and, at the last count, has sold four copies. The likeliest reason for such low sales is that most people find it of no use. Another theory is that there is very little need to learn how to say cauliflower…

The Great Pyramids Of Egypt
The Great Pyramids Of Egypt was released in 1993, and as you can see from the book’s title and cover, several mistakes were made during its writing, editing, book design, and printing. Despite the glaring error, the book went on to sell out of its initial print of 5,000 copies and was voted the best…
