Andr? Bernard has researched the stories behind more than one hundred of the most famous titles in the English language to produce a fascinating volume rich in literary anecdote and publishing lore.This small book is truly delightful and will appeal to every prospective writer and anyone interested in the creation of ideas. An entertaining little book. . . . It is a good thing that writers have to keep struggling for the right title, to judge from Bernard's amusing evidence. --Christopher Lehmann-Haupt,
