A Site Highlighting Unusual Books

Here’s a fun site to browse: Alfred Armstrong’s Odd Books: A Safe House For Literary Misfits.

The site is dedicated to “that constant source of delight and wonder, the second-hand bookshop.”

It features such titles as How To Defend Yourself Against Alien Abduction, Brainwashing Is a Cinch!, and Recollections of a Society Clairvoyant.
