MISSION STATEMENT
Sometimes, things are wrong. At one point they may have been alright, and are now considered wrong, or, they always have been and ever will be just plain wrong. Oft times, these wrong things are also funny.
With that in mind, this endeavour features two main strands: the "Shelf of Shame" (books) and the "Screen of Shame" (film) and smaller strands such as "Sound of Shame" (vinyl) and "Miscellany of Shame" (various) - each showcasing items from my personal collection of bibliographic and cinematic oddities and curios.
Deemed shame-worthy according to varying criteria of wrongness, these humourous, surprising, and occasionally instructive items are therefore posted here for your perusal, amusement and edification. Enjoy.

YOU'D LIKE TO THINK THE AUTHOR WOULD BE JOSIAH ALLEN...
Marietta Holley. G.W. Dillingham: New York: 1905. 8vo. 471pp. + 5pp. publisher ads. Decorative brown boards w. red lettering to front and to spine.
The author is not Josiah Allen. Bow-chicka-bow-wow...
Turns out the author is Marietta Holley. Double-bow chicka-bow-wow...
No. The book does not live up to those expectations.
However, if you like gentle satire about the inequality of the sexes written in rustic dialect by an author described as "the female Mark Twain" (does that mean that Mark Twain is the male Marietta Holley...?? Hm.) then this IS the book for you.
