: There is an expression 'one of the world's shortest books', which is a thoroughly tongue-in-cheek concept.
: These books would include --- "Great French War Heros',
: "Great Russian Philantropists", "Spotted Owl Recipes", "The Book of Virtues" by Bill Clinton, "The Engineers Guide to Fashion", "My Plan to Find the Real Killers", by O.J. Simpson. My personal favourite is "Different Ways to Spell Bob".

One close to my heart:

'The Consultant Surgeon's Guide to Humility.'
