Humorous Publisher Farewells

To continue this humorous thread (after all it is Friday
afternoon):
I think the title Golf Digest is unappetizing. Conversely,
my favorite corporate author is The National Potato Chip
Institute.
Favorite subject headings that come to mind: Dancing mice,
Fingernails in Rabbinical Literature, Rabbits--Psychology,
and the infamous Cookery (Worms). When I was doing a lot of
subject authority work, I once composed a poem about spring
made of subject headings. Then I realized perhaps I was
getting eccentric in a way I didn't like, and didn't show it
to anyone. I later threw it away.
My favorite coincidences in the author-subject category in
our library are a volume of sea poetry by Frothingham, and
Tourist Attractions in the USSR by V. Braginski.
