These are so funny. I especially love the "My First Rave" cover. Awesome.

Evil - If you're going to completely change the title of a book (even in jest), you should remove the authors and the publishers name from it. I worked on Everyone Poops (first published in Japan, and later in the US iin 1992 by Kane/Miller) and we were and continue to be very proud of what we produced. It was and is a phenomenon.

Yeah, I see the humor, but let us not forget the reputation of the author and publisher that created the original work.
