While we're not ones to recommend books that don't feature animals wearing wigs or visual recipes for heart disease, we will advise you to take a browse in our new favorite site to hit the FAIL-scene: BookFail -- a collection of books judged "solely by their covers."

We collect some of the best from the collection below, but be sure to check out the site to be sure you'll never browse your local bookstore (or library) in the same way again.

  • Self-published books are big these days, right? ...RIGHT?


  • Is this really the SECOND edition to this "best-selling" book? I'd actually be curious to see what edition one covered, wouldn't you?
  • Let's not lie: a pun doesn't a book make.
