Weird Books Guaranteed to Make You Happy

Okay I'll admit it. Some of the books I link to on this site aren't all that weird; sometimes they're just a little quirky and sometimes they're just books I found interesting enough to want to draw your attention to. So yes it's all kind of a mixed bag here at Publishing Oddities.

However there is available a wonderful magazine about collecting truly weird books with reviews and articles. It's called Book Happy, and there are seven issues in all.

Here's a partial list of contents: Confessions of a Cheap Book Fiend; Collecting Contactees; Satanic Panic books; Nonfiction paperback sleaze; Youth Studies Alcohol; The Ultimate Weird Book Caper; Jack Chick; Orfeo Angelucci; Bad Drug Books; White Slavery books; The Worst Science Fiction Novel Ever Written: Galaxy 666; Harry Stephen Keeler; Theodore L. Shaw; Crucified Gods Galore; Handbook on Hanging; How to Electroplate Baby Shoes; Rebellious Wives & Slacker Husbands; Novel of Chiropractic; Bad Poetry; Health Books for Hillbillies; Weirdest Book Ever Published; Obscure Genres; Hypnotism books; David Icke & co.; Kenneth Goff, L. Ron Hubbard, Brainwashing & Psychopolitics; Book Hell; Wickedest City in the World; much more.
