Many authors throw a few words into their manuscript for a title--with little thought about it. This fascinating short book reveals a few of the behind the scenes stories about well-known books and their titles. If you read through Andre Bernard's book, you will learn book titles come from many different sources. It could spark something for your own writing and publishing work. If nothing else, you'll learn some terrific publishing trivia which will make riveting small talk in any gathering. I like this book and believe it has tremendous teaching value.
