They say you can't judge a book by its coverbut its title can tell you more than you ever needed to know!
Amazing, illuminating, and gut-bustingly funny, Bizarre Books is the wonderfully twisted product of more than two decades of determined searching in forgotten corners of out-of-the-way libraries and through the literary detritus of eclectic private collections. It is certain to delight every true fan of trivia and the patently absurd.

This is a novelty topic, a humorous footnote in literary history. If you're interested in novelty topics or if you're looking to read something which will certainly make you laugh, then yes, add this to your reading lists.
