The Complete Idiot's Guide to Enhancing Self-Esteem
This book creates an interesting paradox: you obviously need it, but the admission inherent in buying it is most certainly a step in the wrong direction.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Coping With Difficult People
It's you, not them. If you have so many problems with the people in your life that it actually requires a book about how to deal with them, it's time to realize that the common denominator in all your dysfunctional relationships is you. Skip reading it, but do everyone a favor and give copies out as gifts to all those who originally prompted your interest in this book.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Communicating With Spirits
Here's a thought, nay, a plea for all the morons: why not try to master communicating with the living people around you first, then worry about the ghostly remnants of people departed?

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Overcoming Procrastination
Oops. You blew it.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Managing Your Time
Before you tackle this tome, I suggest starting with the excellent companion piece, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Overcoming Procrastination.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Things Done
A must-read for anyone ready to start accomplishing their goals and finding satisfaction in life. But to ensure you maximize the efficiency of your efforts, start with the essential companion piece, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Managing Your Time.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Global Economics
Yeah. Good luck.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Kama Sutra
Yes, it's a reference book. Perhaps you're accustomed to referring to reference books during the activity they help you with. A dictionary as you write. A how-to as you fix something. Please, make an exception and memorize what you need beforehand. The copies adhered to your headboard, mattress, floor, ceiling, walls, and strapped to your partner's back and soles will undoubtedly prove more distraction than they're worth.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Electrical Repair
In lieu of a summary and blurbs, the back cover just has disaster written all over it.

What's sadder: the fact that The Complete Idiot's Guide to Snack Cakes actually exists, or the fact that I actually did a Google search to check on it?
