40 Worst Book Covers and Titles Ever
I’ve been told not to judge a book by its cover, but when the cover has a title like “Images You Should Not Masturbate To”, it’s hard not to. Whether intentionally funny or just completely oblivious, here are some of the worst book titles we’ve ever seen.
Some of the people who wrote these titles might have been oblivious and out of touch, but it could also have to do with changing word use in the English language. “Dick” wasn’t always a slang word the way we use it today, and neither was “boner.” Depending on what you’re writing about and who your target audience is, shock value can also sell books – we’re assuming that’s what the idea is behind books like “How To Succeed In Business Without A Penis” and “How To Shit In The Woods.”
And then there are book with titles like “Sex In The Afterlife.” There’s no explaining that one. It takes all kinds, I guess!

The absolute BEST book cover ever, in terms of homosexual subculture, is so funny that my friend, who has a copy, has promised to leave it to me when he dies:
http://166.78.160.91/images/0245596895.jpg
Inside the sleeve, the book promises to inform the reader about how to pick up a buoy in varying weather conditions.
The man who put this together just had to know that what he was writing was really rip-roaringly funny for a certain audience.
Could have put spoilers on this.

Older people in US stil say boner sometimes when they make a blunder "I made a boner". Rape used to mean cut something I think. It's funny the amount of older words that mean something else now. A gay bundle of faggots means something completely different now.
