   Oddly, librarians apparently have a pretty low opinion of it. (I didn't read   
   it.)   
      
   I stumbled on this site, where there's supposed to be a "review" of it. (There   
   are 155 pages, with maybe six books on every page.)   
      
   Unfortunately, it's been shut down as of 2023 and there doesn't seem to be a   
   quick, simple way of finding any particular book title.

   But it looks pretty fun anyway!   
      
   (Not all of the books have bad WRITING, per se; in one case at least, the   
   complaint was that the paperback book was missing pieces from the cover and so   
   the fact that it hadn't been weeded out reflected badly on the library.)
