Readers know all too well the comedy and tragedy of forgetting the name of a must-find book. Inspired by this torturous predicament, artist Marina Luz creates 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 Ghost Cat, It Was All a Dream, or Stories to Worry Children inspire dreaming up their contents, often as entertaining as trying to guess the real book behind them. A celebration of book love unlike any other, this petite book is a clever gift for bibliophiles that will spark knowing smiles.
