There are titles and then there are titles: the inspired kind that serve at once as advertisement and encapsulation ... and the merely workmanlike that leave the reader to bedevil librarians and bookstore clerks with requests for a book by "that author, you know, the one with the blue cover."

Beasts, and Fowles, and for the
generall Cure of their Diseases.
