OK people. This is the lowdown. The Competition is number 4167. The entries have to be in by 20 Jan to comp@newstatesman.co.uk and the challenge is to 'tweak' a book title to give a more intellectual-sounding result. So anything goes, it would seem.
John, it seems that most of us have written several of these titles. Since the entries are so short, do you think it's okay just to email several in a single email?
(Thanks, Petra. You may have a winner in Möbius Dick).
