title: Too Good to Be True: The Colossal Book of Urban Legends
author:  Jan Harold Brunvand 
description: Have you heard the one about the new computer owner who mistook the CD-ROM player for a cup holder? Or the woman who thought her brains were oozing out of a gunshot wound, when the "truth" was that when her Pillsbury Poppin' Fresh can exploded, striking her on the head with the lid, the goo she felt was biscuit dough? Jan Harold Brunvand, professor emeritus at the University of Utah and author of numerous urban-legend collections, including <a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/0393951693/${0}"><i>The Vanishing Hitchhiker</i></a>, <a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/0393303217/${0}"><i>The Choking Doberman</i></a>, <a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/0393307115/${0}"><i>Curses! Broiled Again</i></a>, and <a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/0815333501/${0}"><i>American Folklore: An Encyclopedia</i></a>, has been studying urban legends for some 20 years, and his new book, <i>Too Good to Be True</i>, relates more than 200 of these indestructible tales.
