From In this contest, a book is judged by its title
by Jesse Leavenworth (Chicago Tribune, March 16, 2007)
“Book titles,” longtime book publicist Scott Manning wrote in an e-mail, "are incredibly important to sales. They should intrigue, but also inform. So if you're going to go with something clever, you'd better add a subtitle or reading line that tells the reader what the book is about.

Such books aren't universally popular, and are even decried by critics who find them hardly worth their time. To those who snub such titles, Manning says, “These are books that people really read. ... When people face a challenge in their lives, they go to the bookstore.”
