This is a non-fiction book that has lots of "tips" or "secrets" or "answers" for life/success/health/whatever. It's one of the strangest books I've ever seen and I really want to figure out what it is so I can share the weirdness.
I saw this book at the library (where I work) several months ago, when it came in for an interlibrary loan. It was a big, thick paperback, like a GRE study book or a phone book. It had a lot of text on the cover, and looked very similar to the cover of this book:
http://www.amazon.com/365-Ways-Good-L...
By "similar" I mean the crowded text, basic fonts, and garish colors. I want to say the cover was yellow, but it could have been red or another color. I think it was written by a man with his wife, and his wife was Asian (possibly Chinese, but I could be remembering wrong) and she knew lots of Asian "secrets." There were a bunch of questions on the cover and/or back cover, and it said the answers were in the book. They were really random questions. I wish I could remember an example. I remember thinking it was probably self-published due to how it looked and the lack of professional design for the cover, but I don't actually know.
I remember the title seemed like kind of a non-sequitur, kind of like The Jewish-Japanese Sex and Cook Book and How to Raise Wolves, except mine was nonfiction, and not a joke. So if anyone knows of a book with a title like that, that's made up of a few things that don't seem to have anything to do with each other, please let me know. I can't remember any of the words from the title, so my Google-fu is useless here.
