Robin Ince, award-winning comedian and committed bibliophile, has spent a great deal of the twenty-first century trying to determine whether poetry about extraterrestrials and romances set in lighthouses are in fact more fabulous than Great Literature. Contained within these pages are the results of his painstaking research. Ince has rummaged through charity shops, jumble sales and even the occasional skip in his mission to compile the definitive collection of the world’s most extraordinary – and inadvertently hilarious – books. Read it, and you’ll qualify for membership of the Grand Order of Curators of Books That Should Never Have Been.
