Hockey Books That Would Just Never Sell

EDIT: View Part Two Here!

Before I begin, let me tell you that on many hockey forums there is a great tradition of coming up with the titles of books that hockey players should write but that may not become bestsellers.

I've created some of these on my own, but let me say right now that I'm not going to take credit for them all because it would be a slap in the face to the fans that took the time to create the others.

But since the authors' names are unknown, who gets the credit?

As I said, many of these are from different message boards where the author's name is hidden by a crafty username, therefore the credit must go simply to the die-hard hockey fan. Wherever you are, whoever you are, these are for you!
