<p>In this entertaining collection, acclaimed literary detective and columnist Gary Dexter reveals the intriguing stories behind some of history's most celebrated books.Here we learn the real reasons for such unusual pieces of nomenclature as Generation X by Douglas Coupland, Goldfinger by Ian Fleming, The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. This last was originally titled Alice's Adventures Under Ground, but changed due to the author's worry that potential buyers would think it was about mining.Full to the brim with myth-busting tidbits, and throwing light into many unexplored corners of literary history, Title Deeds will delight and inspire writers and bibliophiles of all ages.</p>
