world's shortest book





























the world's shortest book was a joke template that has been popular ever since the end of world war ii.





























the reference template was ethnic in nature with typical examples including: ""italian war heroes"", ""german comedians"", ""blacks i've met yachting"", ""jugtown cup team red wins"," and ""light jewish cuisine"". another template consists of a book title and an author, which, when paired together, would be nonsensical. an example would be ""theory of racial harmony", by george wallace".
