Reminds me of a very old list of the shortest books in the world. From
memory, and I'm missing a lot:
The American Book Of Good Taste
The French Book Of Military Victories
The Irish Book Of Knowledge
The German Book Of Humour
The Italian Book Of War Heroes
The British Book Of Bloodless Post-Colonial Pullouts
There. That should pretty much offend everybody. :>
