In the olden days the mad person with a message and idiosyncratic punctuation they desperately needed to share was usually reduced to using a photocopier, staples and handing stuff out on street corners. Now, for a mere hundreds of dollars, Authorhouse will take your message to the world.
A sample page (click to enlarge): bear in mind this thing is 648 pages long, and contains not one lower-case letter.
It's almost as bad as the stuff I have to edit at work.
Check out the Amazon page, including the price and the customer reviews:

$150?!!! Holy cats!
ReplyDeleteThe Amazon sales rank is #8,370,490. I wonder if there are any books lower?
That is one catchy title.
ReplyDeleteI just fell over laughing...

OMG! Thanks for the laugh-- this is hilarious,
ReplyDeleteCAUSTIC COVER CRITICS ARE GREAT
The kick in the balls for someone like me is the most reviews I've ever racked up on Amazon for one book is eleven. Clearly to seduce the Amazon buying public I need to be batshit insane and just type with my fists with caps lock engaged. Oh, and bang on about God and sin and, um, beast milk.
ReplyDeleteA favorite saying in our family: "There are 57 kinds of crazy, and she's 56-1/2 of them."

Do the CLICK TO LOOK INSIDE thing, then take a look at part 1, page 1, first paragraph.
Another gem from Author Solutions.
This is the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you, thank you!
ReplyDeleteDerek, that is wonderful! And I'm also enjoying the same author's 'Rejuvenation and Unveiled Hidden Phenix: Carlos Castaneda Shamanism Plus a after His Death'. Plus, at $12.95, these 2 books are much better value than the beast milk book. I think my Christmas shopping just sorted itself out.
ReplyDeleteWith its ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME thing, poor standard of self-editing and extremist approach to sexual relations, this book actually ends up reminding me of all the Lydia Lunch / Henry Rollins type 'transgressive' poetry I used to subject myself to as a misguided youth.
ReplyDeleteI always find the idea of books written in capitals inherently hilarious, regardless of the subject matter. Why, people are sure to pay attention to me IF I JUST SHOUT (FOR SIX HUNDRED PAGES)!
As a card-carrying pederastian, I gotta say this book is hitting the top of the giftgiver list for all of my heteroslexualy birfth-corntrolled sinfooll godless and childrenless friennds. Their bugjet savings alone for condons and IDUs and pills will pay for this Sprite-filleted book.
ReplyDeleteP.s. Do read the revues--THEY 2 CHUNNEL the HoLEY GODMINDEDNESS of the LOURD.
PpSS. Whoever found out this book should win a Pulizzer price. I read it and and signed up for a peotomy or peoectomy since the regular peostomy isnt good enough any moor. Salve our priestly marrages!
Beast feeding… (laughing) … like Rosemary's Baby.
