How obscure can you get?

What is the weirdest book title you can find at Amazon.com? Have you ever wondered about that while you were busy doing something fascinating like, say, watching paint dry?

What is the weirdest book title you can find at Amazon.com? Have you ever wondered about that while you were busy doing something fascinating like, say, watching paint dry?

Well, while you were watching the paint, I was doing extensive research through the online book seller’s files and came up with this winner: The 2007-2012 Outlook for Public Building Stacking Chairs Excluding Bar, Bowling Center, Cafeteria, Library, Restaurant, and School Stacking Chairs in India by Philip M. Parker. Absolutely rivetting.

This must be a really good book because it costs all of $495, but don’t stress as shipping is free with Amazon’s Super Saving Shipping. What a bargain! I really must add this to my wish list. Who knows, maybe someone will buy it for me. So what is the book all about?

Here are the first few lines of the product description: “This study covers the latent demand outlook for public building stacking chairs excluding bar, bowling center, cafeteria, library, restaurant, and school stacking chairs across the states, union territories and cities of India.

Latent demand (in millions of US dollars), or potential industry earnings (PIE) estimates are given across some 2 600 cities in India. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it’s state or union territory and of India as a whole is reported.”

Unfortunately Christmas has passed so you are going tohave to wait a little if you’re hoping someone will give it to you as a stocking filler – but who knows? Isn’t your birthday around the corner?
