Book-title bloat gets out of hand
From the New York Times:Because of an editing error, the David Carr column in Business Day on Monday, about Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue, misstated the title of a recent memoir by another prominent editor, Bonnie Fuller of Star magazine, whose public persona was compared with Ms. Wintour’s. It is “The Joys of Much Too Much: Go for the Big Life — the Great Career, the Perfect Gu and Everything Else You’ve Ever Wanted.” The working title was “From Geek to Oh My Goddess: How to Get the Big Career and the Big Love Life and the Big Family — Even if You Have a Big Loser Complex Inside.” (Go to Article)
I'll talk more about this subject in my new book, "Title Bloat: How Book Titles Have Continually Gotten Longer and Longer to the Point That They Are No Longer Possible to Read Aloud in a Single Breath."
