I do not know how to officially create a "Canonical List", but I suspect that
this is the first time that punny book titles have been collected and posted
in a regular way to the net. Unless anyone objects, I can elect myself
Official List Maintainer, and encourage you all out there to send me your
best stuff. I reserve the right to "improve" submissions as I see fit, but
the title or author should be recognizable to the contributor and all
contributions will be scrupulously referenced.
Send contributions to Harold Reynolds at har...@rainbow.physics.utoronto.ca
(my regular account, which has no net access alas) or the address listed in
the mail header. Please spare me the bodily functions ones, though. I want
this suitable for grannies. 8-) I'll post this from time to time.

Harold Reynolds.

All news readers can be goalies--you're already net-minders.
