The readers in your life know the comedy and tragedy of forgetting the name of a must-find book. Inspired by this torturous predicament, artist Marina Luz has created paintings of books based on the descriptions we use when we can’t remember their titles – mining Internet book-search forums for the quirky, vague, and often hilarious language we come up with in these moments. This volume collects dozens of these imaginary books into a library all their own: Titles like “Cat, Possibly Named Henry,” “It Was All a Dream,” or “Something-Something, Beverly Hills” inspire dreaming up their contents, often as entertaining as trying to guess the real book behind them.
