Is anybody working on *those*, these days?
I'm prepping some random fiction that Marcello will hate, I'm sure. One of them,
PEACHMONK A SERIO-COMIC DETECTIVE TALE IN WHICH NO FIRE-ARMS ARE USED AND NO ONE IS KILLED BEING A THREE DAYS EPISODE IN THE LIFE OF THE DUKE OF BELLEVILLE AS RELATED BY LORD EDWARD LYNDON
has this in the forward:
"The fabric of this tale is based largely upon the use of Book-Titles, and the names, several names in connection, or expressions in CAPITALS, which indicate these titles, should in no way interfere with the continuous reading of the story. No Title, of either one or more words, is used more than once, unless such title is represented by more than one Author. Approximately, Nine Hundred Book-Titles have been used. No Literary Merit is claimed for this Tale, as none has been attempted."
Short, single signature book, no publisher willing to claim it, not even a vanity press. :)
