What would be some titles for a really thin book?

Asked by Brian1946 (32275points) December 29th, 2010

An example of this would be a book concerning a subject about which the the author had very little knowledge or experience.

Another example would be where the opinions of the author were based on very little moral authority, such as, “Why Husbands Should be Faithful to Their Wives”, by Newt Gingrich or John Edwards.

What Women Know About Men

@wundayatta I disagree. That would be a really thick book.

@marinelife Quod Erat Demonstratum

That book is entitled, “What Women Think They Know About Men…” a book with as many words as the OED and with about as much sense as “Horton Hears a Who.”
